Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the Python quickstart where Windows virtual environment activation commands are presented before Linux equivalents, and in the presence of a dedicated PowerShell pivot (even though the main quickstart content is for C#, Python, and Java). Docker Desktop is referenced as the recommended Docker installation, which is a Windows/Mac-specific tool, rather than mentioning Linux-native Docker. There are no Linux-specific tools or shell patterns highlighted, and Windows command patterns are sometimes shown first.
Recommendations:
- In all code blocks or instructions that have OS-specific steps (such as activating Python virtual environments), present Linux and Windows instructions with equal prominence, and alternate which is shown first or present them side-by-side.
- Where Docker is required, mention both Docker Desktop (for Windows/Mac) and native Docker Engine (for Linux), and provide links to Linux installation instructions.
- If a PowerShell pivot is included, ensure there is parity with Bash or shell scripts for Linux users, or clarify that the PowerShell pivot is optional and not required for the main flow.
- Review all example paths and commands to ensure they are cross-platform (e.g., use forward slashes or explain path differences).
- Explicitly state that all instructions are supported on both Windows and Linux, and provide troubleshooting tips for common Linux issues (such as Docker permissions or executable flags).
