Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and workflows. PowerShell is given its own dedicated section, and instructions for command-line usage reference Windows PowerShell and opening a Windows PowerShell command window. There is no mention of Linux-specific shells or tools, and no explicit Linux/Bash examples are provided. The Azure CLI section mentions Windows PowerShell as an example of a command console, but does not mention Bash or other Linux shells. This may make Linux users feel less supported or unsure if the instructions are applicable to their environment.
Recommendations:
  • In the Azure CLI section, mention both Windows PowerShell and Bash (or other Linux shells) as valid environments for running Azure CLI commands.
  • Add explicit instructions or notes for Linux/macOS users, such as 'Open a terminal (e.g., Bash, zsh) on Linux/macOS' alongside Windows PowerShell.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform, or provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI examples where possible.
  • Avoid language that assumes a Windows environment (e.g., 'Open a Windows PowerShell command window') unless the instructions are truly Windows-specific.
  • Consider adding a 'Linux/macOS' tab or section for parity with the PowerShell and Portal tabs, especially for command-line operations.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI references are not Windows-specific unless necessary, and clarify when steps are identical across platforms.
