Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation shows some Windows bias by listing Windows installation options and tools (such as Visual Studio, PowerShell, Chocolatey, Winget) before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. PowerShell and Windows-specific package managers are given dedicated sections and detailed examples, while Linux and macOS instructions are present but less emphasized. The Visual Studio (Windows-only) workflow is described in detail, and Windows command-line examples (PowerShell, CMD) are more numerous and detailed than Linux shell examples.
Recommendations:
  • Ensure Linux and macOS installation instructions are as detailed and prominent as Windows instructions, including troubleshooting tips and verification steps.
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples wherever PowerShell or Windows CMD examples are given.
  • Avoid listing Windows tools (e.g., Visual Studio, Chocolatey, Winget) before cross-platform or Linux-native tools unless there is a technical reason.
  • Add more examples and guidance for Linux-native editors and workflows (e.g., Vim, Emacs, JetBrains IDEs) if relevant.
  • Balance the order of sections so that Linux and macOS instructions are not always listed after Windows instructions.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform language (e.g., 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt') and avoid assuming the user is on Windows.
