Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. While it mentions both Windows and Linux support, it provides explicit guidance and links for preparing a Windows VHD but omits equivalent instructions or links for preparing a Linux VHD. The reference to password complexity requirements links to Windows-specific documentation. In the 'Add a VM image' section, the only preparation link is for Windows, and Linux is only mentioned as an OS type in a dropdown. The connection instructions for Linux and Windows VMs are separated, but the actual connection steps are included via external includes, so parity there cannot be assessed from this page alone.
Recommendations:
  • Add a dedicated section or link for preparing a generalized image from a Linux VHD, similar to the Windows VHD preparation link.
  • When mentioning password requirements, provide a link to Linux VM password requirements or a cross-platform reference, not just the Windows-specific FAQ.
  • Ensure that all steps and examples (such as VHD preparation, troubleshooting, and connection instructions) are provided for both Windows and Linux, either inline or via clear links.
  • If using includes for connection instructions, verify that both Linux and Windows connection guides are equally detailed and accessible.
  • Consider presenting Windows and Linux options in parallel throughout the documentation, rather than referencing Windows first or exclusively.
