Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by listing numerous Windows-centric products (Windows Server, Windows 10/11, Hyper-V, Visual Studio, etc.) and mentioning Windows deployment and app store options. There are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or deployment instructions, and Windows products are listed before their Mac equivalents. The documentation does not mention Linux VMs, Linux developer tools, or open-source alternatives, nor does it provide parity for Linux users in terms of software access or usage scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-based developer tools (e.g., Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE) in product lists and clarify their availability through the Education Hub.
  • Add examples and instructions for deploying Linux virtual machines with Azure for Students, alongside Windows VM instructions.
  • List Linux-compatible software (such as VS Code, .NET Core, and cross-platform SDKs) and highlight their use on Linux systems.
  • Provide guidance for students using Linux, including how to access and install Azure Dev Tools for Teaching software on Linux platforms.
  • Ensure product lists and instructions mention Linux and Mac options equally, and avoid listing Windows tools first unless contextually justified.
