Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples and built-in tasks focus exclusively on Windows-centric technologies such as PowerShell, WinGet, and Desired State Configuration (DSC). There are no references to Linux tools, package managers (like apt, yum, or zypper), or shell scripting. The documentation does not provide Linux equivalents or mention cross-platform support, and Windows tools are introduced first and exclusively throughout the article.
Recommendations
  • Add examples and guidance for customizing dev boxes using Linux tools and package managers (e.g., apt, yum, zypper).
  • Include sample image definition YAML files that use Bash scripts or Linux-specific tasks.
  • Clarify whether Dev Box supports Linux-based dev boxes and, if so, document the supported customization primitives for Linux.
  • Provide parity in documentation by listing Linux customization options alongside Windows options (e.g., PowerShell vs. Bash, WinGet vs. apt).
  • Explicitly mention any platform limitations or future plans for Linux support if not currently available.
