Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and workflows (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell, RDP, Windows VM Guest Agent) are referenced without Linux equivalents or alternatives. Example commands and workarounds are often given for Windows environments (e.g., mounting NFS shares with Windows paths, using robocopy), while Linux commands or tools are either missing or mentioned only after Windows. PowerShell and Windows-centric troubleshooting steps are detailed, but Linux-based approaches are not provided, even when relevant (e.g., custom script VM extension, NFS mounting).
Recommendations:
  • For every Windows-specific tool or command mentioned (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell), provide equivalent Linux alternatives (e.g., rsync, cp, bash commands).
  • When giving example commands (such as mounting NFS shares), include both Windows and Linux syntax, and present them in parallel or alternate order.
  • If troubleshooting steps are provided for Windows VMs (e.g., using RDP, PowerShell), also include steps for Linux VMs (e.g., SSH, systemctl, relevant Linux services).
  • Avoid assuming the user is on a Windows client; clarify when instructions are OS-specific and provide cross-platform guidance.
  • Review all workarounds and ensure Linux users are not left without actionable steps, especially for common scenarios like file copying, mounting, and command-line utilities.
