Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
Summary
The documentation generally maintains parity between Windows and Linux, but in the prerequisites section, the link to the Windows VM quickstart is listed before the Linux VM quickstart. This subtle ordering preference is a form of 'windows_first' bias. However, both platforms are otherwise mentioned equally, and connection instructions reference both RDP (Windows) and SSH (Linux) without favoring one. There are no PowerShell-heavy examples, Windows-only tools, or missing Linux examples.
Recommendations
  • List Linux and Windows VM quickstart links in alphabetical order or randomize their order to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Wherever possible, ensure that examples and instructions mention both Windows and Linux platforms in parallel, or use neutral phrasing.
  • Periodically review documentation for subtle ordering or phrasing that may suggest platform preference, even if both are supported.
