Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples, tools, and troubleshooting steps are centered around Windows-specific technologies such as PowerShell, WinGet, and Windows file paths. The Dev Box CLI usage, log locations, and built-in tasks (~/winget, ~/powershell) are described exclusively in a Windows context. There are no Linux or cross-platform equivalents provided, nor any mention of Linux package managers, shell scripting, or file system paths. The troubleshooting and optimization sections also focus on PowerShell and Windows conventions, with no guidance for Linux-based Dev Boxes.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples alongside Windows ones, such as using Bash scripts, apt/yum/dnf package managers, and Linux file paths.
- Document how to author and test image definitions for Linux Dev Boxes, if supported, including relevant built-in tasks and troubleshooting steps.
- Mention cross-platform tools and patterns (e.g., using VS Code on Linux, using shell scripts as primitives) where applicable.
- Clarify which features, tasks, and troubleshooting steps apply only to Windows Dev Boxes and which are available for Linux.
- Provide guidance on handling secrets, logs, and context placement in Linux environments (e.g., log file locations, permissions).
- Add parity in optimization tips for file downloads, such as using wget/curl on Linux, and discuss performance considerations for Linux.
