Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: troubleshooting steps and examples often reference Windows tools (e.g., Control Panel, Notepad, admin command prompt, PowerShell, WMI, WinRM) either exclusively or before Linux equivalents. Some sections, such as time synchronization and hosts file editing, only provide Windows instructions. PowerShell scripts are provided for Windows, while Linux examples are less detailed or missing in some cases. Linux guidance is sometimes present but often less prominent or detailed than Windows guidance.
Recommendations:
  • For every troubleshooting step that references a Windows tool or command (e.g., Control Panel, Notepad, admin command prompt, PowerShell), provide equivalent Linux instructions (e.g., timedatectl, nano/vi, terminal commands).
  • When giving file path examples (e.g., hosts file), include both Windows (C:\...) and Linux (/etc/hosts) locations and editing instructions.
  • For time synchronization, include Linux commands (e.g., timedatectl, ntpdate) alongside Windows w32tm instructions.
  • Where PowerShell scripts are provided for Windows, offer equivalent Bash or shell scripts for Linux scenarios.
  • In sections where only Windows troubleshooting is described (e.g., WMI/WinRM errors, registry edits), clarify if/how these apply to Linux, or explicitly state if not applicable.
  • Ensure Linux examples are as detailed and prominent as Windows examples, using tabbed or side-by-side formatting where appropriate.
  • Review the order of examples and instructions to avoid always listing Windows first; alternate or use neutral ordering.
