Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by listing Windows-centric products (Windows Server, Windows 10/11, Hyper-V, Visual Studio, etc.) prominently and exclusively in product lists, without mentioning Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. There are no examples or references to Linux tools, distributions, or deployment scenarios. The documentation also omits any guidance or examples for Linux users, such as how to deploy Linux VMs or access Linux-compatible developer tools.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in product lists and clarify their availability for Azure for Students and Azure Dev Tools for Teaching.
  • Add explicit examples and FAQs for deploying Linux virtual machines, including any licensing or usage notes.
  • Mention cross-platform developer tools (e.g., VS Code, .NET Core) and clarify their compatibility with Linux and macOS.
  • Provide guidance on accessing and using Linux-based software and tools through the Azure Education Hub.
  • Balance product lists by including both Windows and Linux server options, and highlight open-source alternatives where relevant.
  • Add links to documentation or tutorials for Linux users, such as getting started with Azure on Linux.
