Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides parity between Windows and Linux in the main file tracking configuration sections, but exhibits Windows bias by listing Windows-specific features (Registry, Software) prominently in the 'Applies to' list, presenting Windows examples before Linux, and including detailed Windows Registry configuration without a Linux equivalent (e.g., no mention of Linux configuration files or package tracking). Windows path examples and environment variable usage are described in more detail than Linux. There are no PowerShell-only examples, but the overall structure and emphasis favor Windows scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux examples and features are presented with equal prominence and order as Windows ones (e.g., alternate Windows/Linux tabs, or start with Linux in some sections).
  • Add Linux-specific configuration examples beyond file tracking, such as tracking configuration files (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/ssh/sshd_config) or installed packages, to match the Windows Registry and Software coverage.
  • Include Linux environment variable usage in path examples, similar to the Windows %winDir% example.
  • Balance the 'Applies to' list to include Linux-specific features (e.g., Linux configuration files, Linux packages) alongside Windows Registry and Software.
  • Where possible, provide CLI examples for both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux (bash/CLI) if relevant.
