Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first and Windows-heavy bias. Windows authentication and file share patterns are mentioned and exemplified throughout, with Windows path syntax (backslashes) and Windows-specific terminology (e.g., 'Windows authentication', 'local Powershell') appearing before or instead of Linux equivalents. Linux support is only briefly mentioned (via Samba), with no Linux-specific configuration or example paths provided. All sample paths, JSON, and UI screenshots use Windows conventions, and command-line references are to Powershell, with no Linux shell or mount examples.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux-specific examples for file share setup, including sample Linux paths (e.g., /mnt/share) and Linux user authentication.
  • Include step-by-step instructions for configuring a Linux file share (e.g., using Samba), with sample configuration files and mount commands.
  • Offer equivalent Linux shell commands (e.g., using smbclient or mount.cifs) alongside Powershell references.
  • Use both Windows and Linux path syntax in examples and tables, or clarify when each is appropriate.
  • Explicitly document authentication options for Linux environments (e.g., username/password, Kerberos, etc.) and note any differences from Windows.
  • Add screenshots or UI walkthroughs that show Linux shares being configured, if possible.
  • Review terminology to ensure Linux is presented as a first-class scenario, not just an afterthought.
