Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation is primarily focused on Linux (Ubuntu) for the device setup and update process, providing detailed shell (bash) commands and Linux-specific instructions. However, there is a notable instance where PowerShell is referenced as the default tool for copying files to the VM (using scp), and the instructions assume the user is running PowerShell on their computer. There are no explicit Linux desktop or cross-platform alternatives mentioned for this step, and the only desktop-side example is Windows-centric. No Windows-only tools or patterns dominate, but the assumption of PowerShell as the user's shell introduces a subtle Windows-first bias.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit cross-platform instructions for file transfer (e.g., mention using scp from Linux/macOS terminal, or alternatives like WinSCP for Windows).
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default shell; instead, offer both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (terminal/bash) command examples where relevant.
  • Where desktop-side actions are required, clarify that the steps apply to all platforms, or provide platform-specific alternatives.
  • Consider including a note or table summarizing equivalent commands/tools for Windows, Linux, and macOS users.
