Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in the certificate generation section, where instructions and commands are tailored for Windows users (e.g., opening Command Prompt, using Win+R, referencing %USERPROFILE%), and all example commands are presented in PowerShell syntax. There are no equivalent Linux/macOS shell commands or environment instructions provided for generating certificates or running the sample code, despite the cross-platform nature of the Azure CLI and MQTT tooling.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions and command examples for Linux/macOS users, including shell (bash) commands for certificate generation and file path references.
- Avoid Windows-specific environment instructions (e.g., 'Win+R', '%USERPROFILE%') or supplement them with Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., '~' for home directory).
- Include notes or sections explicitly addressing Linux/macOS users, especially in areas like certificate management and running sample code.
- If using PowerShell commands, also provide bash/zsh equivalents where possible.
- Clarify that the Azure CLI and MQTT tooling are cross-platform, and ensure all steps are accessible from any supported OS.

Flagged Code Snippets
## Publish and subscribe to MQTT messages
The following sample code is a simple .NET publisher that attempts to connect and publish to a namespace and subscribes to the MQTT topic. You can modify the code for your requirements and run it in Visual Studio or another design tool.
You need to install the MQTTnet package (version 4.1.4.563) from NuGet to run this code. In Visual Studio, right-click the project name in Solution Explorer, go to **Manage NuGet packages**, and search for **MQTTnet**. Select **MQTTnet package** and install.

> Update the client certificate and key pem file paths depending on the location of your client certificate files. Also, ensure that the client authentication name and topic information match with your configuration.
