Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_path_examples
⚠️ windows-centric_instructions
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas: Windows examples, paths, and tools are consistently presented before Linux equivalents; Windows-specific tools and conventions (such as command prompt, C:\ paths, and UI screenshots) are emphasized; and instructions often default to Windows-centric language and directory structures, even when discussing Linux prerequisites. While Linux instructions are present, they are frequently secondary, less detailed, or require extra manual steps (such as downloading and placing installers).
Recommendations:
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, giving equal prominence to both platforms in each section.
  • When providing example commands or paths, show both Windows and Linux versions side by side.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific directory structures (e.g., C:\Program Files...) as the default; instead, clarify the equivalent Linux paths.
  • Include Linux UI screenshots where applicable, or clarify when a UI is Windows-only.
  • When referencing tools or services (e.g., Volume Shadow Copy Service), explain Linux equivalents or note if not applicable.
  • Ensure that manual steps for Linux (such as downloading and placing installers) are as streamlined as possible and clearly documented.
  • Use neutral language (e.g., 'on your server' instead of 'on your Windows machine') unless the instruction is truly platform-specific.
  • Add troubleshooting and antivirus exclusion guidance for Linux with the same detail as for Windows.
