Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All example images and OS requirements are Windows-only (Windows 10/11 Enterprise), with no mention of Linux or other operating systems. All image preparation steps reference Windows-specific tools and commands (Sysprep, DISM, defrag, chkdsk, PowerShell), and UI instructions are for Windows features. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or guidance for preparing Linux images or using Linux tools. The documentation assumes the user is working in a Windows environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Add explicit support and examples for Linux images, including listing compatible Linux distributions and versions.
- Provide Linux-specific image preparation steps, such as using waagent for generalization, and commands for cleaning up and optimizing Linux images.
- Include CLI examples for Linux environments (bash, Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell commands.
- Clarify whether Microsoft Dev Box supports Linux images, and if not, state this limitation early and clearly.
- If Linux is supported, add screenshots and UI guidance relevant to Linux image creation and management.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and optimization steps for both Windows and Linux images.
