Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples and references to scripting and automation use PowerShell and WinGet, which are Windows-specific tools. There is no mention of Linux equivalents (such as Bash, shell scripts, or apt/yum package managers), nor any indication that Dev Box supports or can be customized for Linux environments. The documentation assumes a Windows context throughout, both in terminology and in the tools recommended, with no Linux parity in examples or guidance.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether Dev Box supports Linux-based images and, if so, provide equivalent examples using Bash scripts and Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum, dnf, zypper).
  • Include documentation and examples for customizing Linux dev boxes, such as using shell scripts or Ansible playbooks.
  • When listing built-in tasks, mention both Windows (PowerShell, WinGet) and Linux (Bash, apt, etc.) options, or clarify if only Windows is supported.
  • Avoid language that assumes PowerShell or WinGet are the only or default options; instead, use more inclusive phrasing like 'PowerShell (for Windows) or Bash (for Linux)'.
  • Add a section or FAQ addressing cross-platform support and customization differences between Windows and Linux dev boxes.
