Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation generally treats Windows and Linux as supported platforms, but there is a subtle bias toward Windows. Windows servers and credentials are mentioned first in most lists and examples, and some features (like installed roles and features) are explicitly marked as 'Windows servers only' without equivalent Linux details. There are no Linux-specific examples, screenshots, or troubleshooting steps, and database/web app examples focus on Windows technologies (.NET, IIS, SQL Server) without mentioning Linux alternatives (e.g., Apache, MySQL, PostgreSQL).
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux mentions to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Provide explicit Linux examples, including screenshots and step-by-step instructions for Linux credential setup, discovery, and troubleshooting.
  • Include Linux-specific details for features like software inventory (e.g., installed packages, services) and web/database platforms (e.g., Apache, Nginx, MySQL, PostgreSQL).
  • Clarify which features are available or limited for Linux servers, and offer parity where possible.
  • Add troubleshooting and permissions guidance for Linux environments, not just Windows.
  • Mention Linux web app and database types in examples and attribute tables.
