Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing PowerShell scripts and WinGet tasks as the primary mechanisms for Dev Box customizations. There are no examples or mentions of Linux shell scripting, Linux package managers, or cross-platform tooling. Windows-centric tools and patterns are presented as the default and recommended approach, with no guidance for Linux-based Dev Boxes or parity for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Add examples and guidance for Linux-based Dev Boxes, including the use of Bash scripts and Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum, dnf, zypper) in customization tasks.
- Explicitly mention support for Linux Dev Boxes, if available, and provide documentation on how to author cross-platform or Linux-specific customization files.
- Include sample YAML customization files that demonstrate both Windows (PowerShell/WinGet) and Linux (Bash/apt) tasks.
- Clarify whether Dev Box supports Linux images and, if so, provide parity in tooling and task definitions for Linux environments.
- Avoid recommending Windows tools (PowerShell, WinGet) as the default without mentioning alternatives for Linux users.
