Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates several forms of Windows bias. Windows terminology, tools, and examples (such as PowerShell cmdlets and references to Windows Update/WSUS) are mentioned more prominently or exclusively, while Linux equivalents are either missing, less detailed, or referenced after Windows. Some sections provide only Windows-specific instructions or tools, and Linux-specific guidance is often less thorough or omitted.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, CLI) alongside or before PowerShell/Windows examples.
  • When referencing tools (e.g., Windows Defender, BitLocker, WSUS), also mention and describe Linux equivalents (e.g., ClamAV, DM-Crypt, unattended-upgrades, etc.) with equal detail.
  • Ensure that all best practices and implementation steps are described for both Windows and Linux VMs, including links to relevant Linux documentation.
  • Avoid using Windows-centric language (such as 'subscription admins and coadmins' or 'WSUS') without clarifying the Linux context or providing Linux alternatives.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally, rather than consistently listing Windows first.
  • Include Linux-specific security tools and update mechanisms in the 'Protect against malware' and 'Manage your VM updates' sections.
  • Add Linux examples for PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., show az CLI or Bash commands for key management and disk encryption).
