Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All examples and troubleshooting steps reference Windows-specific tools and patterns such as PowerShell, WinGet, and Windows file paths (e.g., C:\ProgramData). There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives provided. The CLI and scripting guidance is focused exclusively on Windows environments, and troubleshooting logs are described only for Windows paths. Built-in tasks and examples (~/winget, ~/powershell) are Windows-centric, and there is no mention of Linux package managers, shell scripts, or file system paths.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples for authoring, testing, and troubleshooting Dev Box image definitions, including shell script primitives and package managers such as apt, yum, or zypper.
- Include cross-platform guidance for built-in tasks, showing how to install software and configure environments on Linux Dev Boxes.
- Document log file locations and troubleshooting steps for Linux environments, using appropriate file paths and tools (e.g., /var/log/devboxagent/customizations).
- Provide parity for scripting: show how to use Bash or other shell scripts in custom tasks, and discuss escaping/quoting issues relevant to Linux shells.
- Mention and demonstrate Linux equivalents for tools like WinGet (e.g., apt, dnf, zypper) and PowerShell (e.g., Bash, Python).
- Clarify which features and primitives are supported on Linux Dev Boxes, and highlight any platform-specific limitations or differences.
