Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently presenting Windows tools and workflows first (e.g., Configuration Manager, SMB shares, administrative command prompt), providing more detailed and visual guidance for Windows, and relying on Windows-centric scripting and tools. Linux instructions are present but are often secondary, less detailed, and lack parity in tool recommendations and visual aids. There is also a lack of Linux-native deployment tool examples, and the uninstall example is Windows-only.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or alternate which platform is described first to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
  • Include Linux-native deployment tool examples (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef) alongside Configuration Manager and JetPatch.
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific steps, such as using NFS shares instead of only SMB, and show how to generate the passphrase on Linux.
  • Add screenshots or detailed walkthroughs for Linux package creation and deployment, not just Windows/Configuration Manager.
  • Include Linux uninstall instructions and scripts, not just Windows examples.
  • Reference cross-platform or open-source tools where possible, not just Microsoft-centric solutions.
  • Ensure that all code samples, troubleshooting, and advanced scenarios are equally covered for both Windows and Linux.
