Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation consistently presents Windows instructions and examples before Linux, uses PowerShell-specific commands and scripts for Windows, and references Windows-specific tools and installation methods (such as vcpkg and Set-ExecutionPolicy). While Linux parity is generally maintained with corresponding bash examples, the ordering and depth of Windows-specific tooling and scripting create a subtle Windows bias.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux sections in each major step, or present both platforms side-by-side where possible.
- Provide equal detail for Linux tooling and prerequisites (e.g., mention common Linux OpenSSL installation methods, such as apt or yum, not just for Windows).
- Where possible, use cross-platform tooling or highlight cross-platform compatibility of scripts.
- Avoid Windows-specific terminology and tools (e.g., vcpkg, Set-ExecutionPolicy) unless a Linux equivalent or explanation is provided.
- Include troubleshooting tips and environment setup steps for Linux with the same depth as for Windows.
- Consider a summary table at the start showing parity of steps and commands for both platforms.
