Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All examples and built-in tasks focus on Windows-centric technologies such as PowerShell, WinGet, and Desired State Configuration (DSC), with no mention of Linux equivalents (e.g., Bash, apt, yum, shell scripts). The workflow and customization examples exclusively use Windows tools and patterns, and there are no examples or guidance for Linux-based dev boxes or cross-platform scenarios. Windows tools are mentioned first and exclusively throughout the documentation.
Recommendations
  • Add examples and guidance for customizing Linux-based dev boxes, including using shell scripts, apt/yum/dnf package managers, and Linux configuration management tools.
  • Introduce Linux equivalents for built-in tasks, such as Bash scripts, apt/yum package installation, and git-clone for Linux environments.
  • Clarify whether Dev Box supports Linux images and, if so, provide parity in documentation for Linux customization workflows.
  • Present cross-platform examples side-by-side, showing both Windows (PowerShell/WinGet) and Linux (Bash/apt/yum) approaches.
  • Explicitly mention platform limitations or support in the prerequisites and task sections, so users know whether Linux is supported and how to proceed.
