Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. In the 'Check VM requirements' section, Windows VM support is listed before Linux VM support, and instructions for updating certificates are more explicit for Windows (install Windows updates) than for Linux (refer to distributor guidance). There are no command-line examples or tooling references, but where OS-specific guidance is given, Windows is mentioned first and in more detail, while Linux guidance is less direct and lacks concrete steps.
Recommendations
  • Present Windows and Linux guidance in parallel, giving equal detail and prominence to both.
  • Provide explicit Linux update instructions or link to common distributor documentation (e.g., Ubuntu, Red Hat) for updating certificates and CRLs.
  • When listing supported VM types or requirements, alternate or group Windows and Linux information together, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Include example commands or scripts for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (bash/CLI) where relevant, especially for preparatory steps.
  • Review all OS-specific instructions to ensure Linux users are not left with vague or incomplete guidance.
