Summary

The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows-centric technologies and patterns, such as FSLogix, roaming user profiles, folder redirection, and App Attach, all of which are specific to Windows virtual desktop environments. There are no examples, guidance, or mentions of Linux-based virtual desktop workloads, nor are Linux authentication or file access patterns discussed. All technical recommendations, terminology, and examples assume Windows clients and Windows VDI scenarios, with no parity for Linux environments.

Recommendations

Add explicit guidance for Linux-based virtual desktop workloads, including supported authentication mechanisms and file access patterns for Linux clients.
Include examples of mounting Azure Files SMB shares from Linux session hosts, using Linux tools (e.g., mount.cifs) and configuration steps.
Discuss limitations or considerations for Linux VDI solutions (e.g., Citrix/VMWare Horizon with Linux desktops) when using Azure Files.
Clarify which features (such as FSLogix, App Attach) are Windows-only and suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux environments.
Provide parity in recommendations and sizing guidance for Linux workloads, including performance and scale considerations.
