Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by providing explicit, detailed instructions for updating root certificates on Windows VMs, while the guidance for Linux VMs is less specific and refers users to external vendor documentation. No command-line or step-by-step examples are given for Linux, and Windows is mentioned first in the prerequisites section.
Recommendations
  • Provide equally detailed, step-by-step instructions for updating root certificates on common Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL), including example commands.
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions, or present them in parallel, to avoid the perception of prioritizing Windows.
  • Include troubleshooting tips or common issues for Linux VMs, similar to those provided for Windows.
  • Where relevant, link to official Linux documentation or Azure-specific Linux guidance, not just generic distributor advice.
