Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing the Windows App as the method for connecting to a dev box, without mentioning or providing instructions for Linux or macOS users. There are no examples or guidance for connecting from Linux (e.g., using RDP clients available on Linux), and the only tool mentioned for remote connection is the Windows App. This suggests an assumption that users are on Windows or using Microsoft tools, with no parity for Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for connecting to a dev box from Linux and macOS, including recommended RDP clients (e.g., Remmina, FreeRDP, rdesktop for Linux; Microsoft Remote Desktop for macOS).
  • Include a section or table listing supported platforms for remote connection, with links to relevant client downloads and setup guides for each OS.
  • Ensure that all steps and screenshots are not Windows-specific, or provide equivalent visuals for Linux/macOS where applicable.
  • Mention any browser-based connection options and clarify their cross-platform compatibility.
  • Avoid language that implies Windows is the default or only supported platform; use inclusive phrasing such as 'on your Windows, Linux, or macOS device...'
