Summary
The documentation page discusses connecting to a Linux VM using RDP via Azure Bastion, but it exhibits bias by focusing on RDP—a protocol and workflow traditionally associated with Windows environments. It requires installation of xrdp (a Windows-compatible RDP server for Linux) and does not provide alternative Linux-native remote desktop solutions or examples. There are no examples or mentions of connecting via SSH (the default for Linux) or using Linux-native tools, and the documentation does not address Linux-specific workflows or troubleshooting beyond xrdp installation.
Recommendations
- Provide examples and guidance for connecting to Linux VMs using SSH via Azure Bastion, which is the default and most secure method for Linux administration.
- Include alternative Linux remote desktop solutions, such as VNC, and explain their configuration and use with Azure Bastion.
- Offer troubleshooting steps and best practices for xrdp on various Linux distributions, including common issues and their resolutions.
- Clarify the limitations and trade-offs of using RDP/xrdp on Linux compared to SSH or other remote desktop protocols.
- Ensure parity in documentation by presenting Linux-native workflows and tools before or alongside Windows-centric approaches.
