Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by requiring the use of RDP—a protocol and toolset traditionally associated with Windows—to connect to Linux VMs. It mandates installing xrdp on Linux, but does not provide guidance or examples for native Linux remote desktop solutions (e.g., VNC, X11 forwarding) or alternative connection methods. There are no Linux-specific client instructions or parity in tooling, and the documentation does not mention Linux desktop environments or their configuration, focusing solely on adapting Linux to fit a Windows-centric workflow.
Recommendations
- Include alternative Linux-native remote desktop solutions (such as VNC, X11 forwarding, or Wayland RDP support) and provide guidance for their setup.
- Offer examples for connecting from Linux clients, not just via Azure portal, and clarify cross-platform client compatibility.
- Discuss the limitations and trade-offs of using xrdp versus other Linux remote desktop protocols.
- Add troubleshooting and configuration steps for common Linux desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, XFCE) when using RDP.
- Ensure that documentation does not assume RDP is the only or preferred method for Linux remote access, and present alternatives equally.
