Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation is primarily Linux/Ubuntu-focused, with installation and usage examples tailored to Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS. However, there is a notable Windows bias in the section describing how to copy the Debian package to the test VM, where PowerShell and the scp command are referenced as the method for Windows users, without mentioning Linux or macOS alternatives. No explicit Linux-first or missing Linux example bias is present, but the inclusion of Windows tooling (PowerShell) and instructions for Windows users introduces a subtle bias.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux and macOS users when describing how to copy files to the VM (e.g., using scp from a Linux/macOS terminal).
  • Clarify that scp is available on Linux and macOS by default, and offer guidance for Windows users who may not have scp installed (e.g., using PuTTY, WinSCP, or enabling OpenSSH in Windows).
  • Ensure that any references to Windows tools or workflows are accompanied by Linux/macOS alternatives, and avoid assuming the user is on Windows unless the tutorial is explicitly Windows-specific.
  • Consider reordering instructions so that Linux/macOS methods are presented before Windows-specific ones, or present them side-by-side for parity.
