Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively recommending the 'Windows App' (a Microsoft tool) for RDP connections from Mac, without mentioning or providing examples for alternative RDP clients commonly used on Linux or Mac (such as FreeRDP, Remmina, or Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac). The instructions focus on Windows-centric tools and patterns, and do not provide parity for Linux users or mention cross-platform alternatives. The related content briefly mentions X2Go for Linux, but this is not integrated into the main workflow or examples.
Recommendations
- Include instructions and examples for connecting to Azure Lab Services VMs using popular cross-platform RDP clients (e.g., FreeRDP, Remmina, Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac).
- Provide a section or sidebar comparing different RDP clients available for Mac and Linux, highlighting their installation and usage.
- Ensure that connection steps are not exclusively tied to Microsoft-branded tools, and mention open-source or native alternatives where appropriate.
- Integrate Linux connection options (such as SSH and X2Go) into the main workflow, not just as related content.
- Add troubleshooting tips for common issues encountered with non-Windows RDP clients.
