Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows tools and workflows (e.g., File Explorer) for verifying share access, while not providing equivalent Linux instructions or examples. Although there is a strong recommendation to use Linux for IoT Edge deployment, practical steps and screenshots for Linux users are missing, especially in sections involving file operations and share access.
Recommendations:
  • Add explicit Linux instructions and examples for accessing Edge shares (e.g., using the mount command, smbclient, or NFS mount commands) alongside or before Windows File Explorer references.
  • Include screenshots or terminal output demonstrating Linux workflows for copying files to shares and verifying data movement.
  • Where File Explorer is mentioned, also mention and demonstrate equivalent Linux file managers (e.g., Nautilus, Dolphin) or command-line alternatives.
  • Ensure parity in tool recommendations (e.g., mention both Azure Storage Explorer and azcopy for cross-platform access to Azure Storage).
  • Review all step-by-step instructions to ensure Linux users have clear, actionable guidance without needing to infer or translate from Windows-centric steps.
