Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by listing Windows prerequisites and tools first, referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., Microsoft C++ Build Tools, WSL), and providing activation commands for Windows before Linux. Some instructions and notes are tailored to Windows or WSL users, and there is a lack of parity in detailed Linux/Mac-specific guidance, especially regarding package management and environment setup.
Recommendations:
  • List Linux and Mac prerequisites before or alongside Windows, not after.
  • Provide Linux and Mac equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., recommend GCC or Clang for C++ build tools on Linux, and clarify how to install dependencies using native package managers).
  • Avoid referencing WSL as the primary Linux environment for Windows users; instead, treat native Linux and WSL as separate, equally valid platforms.
  • Ensure all command examples (such as activating virtual environments) are shown for all platforms, and not just Windows first.
  • Expand on Linux/Mac installation steps, including common package manager commands (apt, yum, brew) and troubleshooting tips.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform commands and avoid Windows-centric paths or syntax.
  • Add explicit sections or callouts for Linux/Mac users wherever there are differences in workflow or tooling.
