Summary
The documentation page describes connecting to a Linux VM using RDP via Azure Bastion, but it exhibits subtle Windows bias. The use of RDP as the primary protocol is traditionally associated with Windows environments, and the documentation does not provide alternative Linux-native remote desktop protocols or mention Linux-specific client tools. There are no examples of connecting from Linux desktops, nor are Linux command-line tools or patterns referenced. The documentation assumes the reader will use RDP (a Windows-centric protocol) and does not discuss alternatives like VNC or SSH with graphical forwarding, which are more common in Linux workflows.
Recommendations
- Include examples of connecting to Linux VMs from Linux desktops, using Linux-native RDP clients (e.g., Remmina, rdesktop, FreeRDP).
- Mention alternative remote desktop protocols (e.g., VNC, X2Go) and explain why RDP is chosen or how it compares.
- Provide command-line instructions for installing and configuring xrdp on popular Linux distributions.
- Clarify whether the Azure portal connection works equally well from Linux, macOS, and Windows clients, and provide parity in instructions.
- Add troubleshooting steps specific to Linux environments (e.g., SELinux, firewall configuration, desktop environment compatibility).
