Bias Analysis

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. In the prerequisites, Windows tooling (Invoke-WebRequest in PowerShell) is mentioned alongside Linux (wget), but Windows is listed second. However, in the hosts file editing instructions, the Windows path is given before the Linux path, and the instructions are more detailed for Windows. The documentation references Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Windows hosts file path) and patterns, and provides more explicit guidance for Windows users. There are no Linux-specific command examples beyond mentioning wget and the Linux hosts file path. No Bash or Linux-native command-line examples are provided for other steps.
Recommendations:
- When mentioning command-line tools, provide both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux (Bash) examples side by side, and in equal detail.
- List Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or alternate which comes first to avoid implicit prioritization.
- For hosts file editing, provide explicit editing instructions for both Linux and Windows, including example commands (e.g., using sudo nano /etc/hosts for Linux).
- Include Linux-native command examples for steps such as DNS lookups (e.g., dig, host, nslookup) and file editing.
- When referencing tools, mention cross-platform or Linux alternatives where possible, and avoid assuming the user is on Windows.
