Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows tools and commands (such as robocopy, Explorer, and PowerShell) are referenced without Linux equivalents, and Windows-specific instructions are provided before or instead of cross-platform or Linux alternatives. Some examples and workarounds are only shown for Windows environments, leaving out Linux users.
Recommendations:
  • For every Windows-specific tool or command (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell), provide equivalent Linux commands (e.g., rsync, cp, bash shell).
  • When giving examples for mounting NFS shares, include both Windows (using mount in CMD/PowerShell) and Linux (using mount in bash) syntax.
  • If referencing Windows Guest Agent or Windows VM-specific issues, clarify if there are Linux VM equivalents or explicitly state if the issue does not apply to Linux.
  • For SQL command-line tools (e.g., sqlcmd), mention installation and usage on both Windows and Linux.
  • When suggesting file copy workarounds, include Linux-native tools and commands.
  • Review all examples and ensure Linux parity, ideally presenting both Windows and Linux instructions side by side or in tabs.
