Summary
The documentation page for Microsoft Dev Box exhibits a Windows-centric bias. It references Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell, Winget, RDP, and Visual Studio), and provides examples or workflow improvements only for these technologies. There is no mention of Linux equivalents (e.g., Bash, apt, SSH, Linux desktop environments), nor are Linux-focused onboarding or customization scenarios described. Windows tools and workflows are mentioned first and exclusively, while Linux support is either absent or only implied (e.g., WSL is referenced but not explained or exemplified).
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and workflow descriptions for Linux-based Dev Box environments, including customization using Bash scripts and Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum).
  • Mention and provide parity for Linux desktop environments and remote access tools (e.g., SSH, VNC) alongside RDP and Windows desktop references.
  • Include onboarding and enterprise management scenarios for Linux Dev Boxes, such as configuring prerequisites and policies for Linux images.
  • Ensure CLI and VS Code extension documentation covers Linux scripting and automation, not just PowerShell and Winget.
  • Highlight Linux image support and provide links to relevant documentation for creating and managing Linux Dev Boxes.
