Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias by presenting the Windows VM creation example before the Linux example, and by referencing Windows-specific images and artifacts first. While both Windows and Linux scenarios are covered, Windows is consistently mentioned or exemplified before Linux, and Windows tools (such as Remote Desktop) are referenced alongside SSH, sometimes with more prominence.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of examples so that Linux-based VM creation is shown before or alongside Windows-based examples.
  • Ensure parity in artifact examples by including both Windows and Linux artifacts in sample outputs and JSON snippets.
  • When referencing connection methods, present SSH (Linux) and RDP (Windows) in parallel, giving neither undue prominence.
  • Where possible, use neutral or cross-platform examples (e.g., generic images, admin credentials) unless a specific OS is being demonstrated.
  • Explicitly mention that all commands and procedures apply equally to both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide links to both Linux and Windows connection guides.
