Summary
The documentation page for Microsoft Dev Box exhibits a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Winget), focusing on Windows-centric workflows and technologies (RDP, Visual Studio, Windows), and omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform examples. Linux equivalents or workflows are not mentioned, and Windows tools are referenced first and exclusively in customization and connectivity sections.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and workflows for Linux-based Dev Box environments, such as using Bash scripts, apt/yum package managers, and Linux desktop environments.
  • Mention cross-platform tools and patterns (e.g., VS Code extensions, CLI usage on Linux/macOS) alongside Windows-specific ones.
  • Provide parity in documentation for Linux onboarding, customization, and troubleshooting, including references to WSL, SSH, and Linux-native developer tools.
  • Explicitly state support for Linux and macOS developer scenarios where applicable, and link to relevant guides.
  • Balance references to Windows tools (PowerShell, Winget, RDP) with Linux alternatives (Bash, apt/yum, SSH, X11/VNC).
