Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows VM scenarios, listing Windows operating systems and SCVMM versions first, and providing more detailed steps for Windows environments. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Group Policy, Configuration Manager) are mentioned before their Linux equivalents, and the Azure portal method is only available for Windows VMs. Linux instructions are present but less emphasized and sometimes relegated to notes or secondary methods.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions with equal prominence and detail, including side-by-side examples where possible.
  • List supported Linux distributions explicitly in the prerequisites and installation sections, not just as a secondary note.
  • Include Linux-first examples and automation methods (e.g., Ansible, shell scripts) before or alongside Windows tools like PowerShell and Group Policy.
  • Expand Linux troubleshooting and credential guidance beyond the sudo note, matching the depth given to Windows.
  • Clarify which features are available for Linux VMs and provide parity where possible, or clearly state limitations.
  • Ensure that all programmatic and out-of-band methods include Linux-specific instructions, not just links to Windows-centric tools.
