Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by presenting Windows-based Management VM instructions before Linux-based ones. The activation command for the virtual environment is shown for both platforms, but the Windows example is listed first, and the Linux command is missing a closing backtick/quote, suggesting less attention to Linux users. No Linux-specific tooling or shell examples are provided beyond the activation command, and there is no mention of Linux-specific troubleshooting or environment considerations. All CLI examples use az CLI, which is cross-platform, but the overall flow and order favor Windows users.
Recommendations:
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions or present them side-by-side to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Ensure Linux commands are complete, accurate, and receive equal attention as Windows commands.
  • Include Linux-specific notes or troubleshooting tips where relevant.
  • Explicitly state that all az CLI commands work identically on both Windows and Linux, and provide shell-specific guidance if needed.
  • Consider including screenshots or terminal output from both Windows and Linux environments.
