Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows (and specifically Windows Server) instructions and screenshots first and in greater detail, especially for SMB shares. Windows-specific tools and workflows (Notepad, File Explorer, net use, Windows Run dialog) are emphasized, while Linux instructions are more concise and lack equivalent visual aids or troubleshooting tips. The 'hosts' file modification is described only for Windows, and there is no mention of macOS clients or cross-platform alternatives for SMB access.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux (and optionally macOS) instructions and examples alongside Windows instructions, not after them.
  • Include Linux-specific screenshots (e.g., editing /etc/hosts, using Nautilus or command-line tools to access SMB shares).
  • Offer SMB connection instructions for Linux clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs) and not just NFS.
  • Balance the level of detail and troubleshooting tips between Windows and Linux sections.
  • Mention cross-platform tools and approaches where possible (e.g., using the same share from different OSes).
  • Clarify that the 'hosts' file modification applies to Linux (/etc/hosts) and provide the relevant steps.
  • Consider including a table summarizing steps for Windows, Linux, and macOS clients for both SMB and NFS.
