Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation provides cross-platform deployment examples for most stacks, but the ASP.NET (non-Core) section exclusively uses Windows runners and Windows-specific tools (NuGet, MSBuild) without offering Linux alternatives or parity. This creates a Windows-first impression for ASP.NET, and omits Linux-based guidance for that scenario.
Recommendations:
  • Provide a Linux-based example for ASP.NET (non-Core) deployment, using Mono or .NET SDK on Linux if feasible.
  • Explicitly mention platform constraints for ASP.NET (non-Core) and clarify if Windows is required, or provide guidance for cross-platform alternatives.
  • For all stacks, ensure that both Windows and Linux runner options are shown where possible, or explain why only one is supported.
  • Consider reordering or grouping examples so that Linux and Windows options are presented together, rather than defaulting to Windows for legacy stacks.
  • Add notes about tool availability (e.g., MSBuild, NuGet) on Linux and how to install or use them if supported.
