Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows/SMB connection instructions before Linux/NFS, providing detailed Windows command-line and GUI (File Explorer) steps, and referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., 'net use', Windows + R, File Explorer) without Linux GUI equivalents. The Linux/NFS section is less detailed and lacks parity in user experience guidance.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of SMB (Windows) and NFS (Linux) instructions, or present them in parallel to avoid privileging Windows.
- Provide equivalent Linux GUI instructions (e.g., how to mount NFS shares using Nautilus or other file managers) to match the Windows File Explorer steps.
- Include Linux command-line examples for SMB (using smbclient or mount.cifs) to show cross-platform parity.
- Clarify that both Windows and Linux are first-class clients, and ensure language does not default to Windows as the primary use case.
- Where possible, use neutral language and avoid assuming the user is on Windows (e.g., 'On your client machine...' instead of 'On your Windows Server client...').
