Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively recommending the Microsoft Remote Desktop app for connecting to lab VMs from a Chromebook, with only passing mention of alternative RDP clients. The instructions and screenshots focus solely on Microsoft's tool, and do not provide guidance or examples for connecting to Linux VMs via SSH, despite mentioning SSH as an option. There is no coverage of open-source or non-Microsoft RDP clients, nor is there parity in examples for Linux VM access.
Recommendations
- Provide step-by-step instructions and screenshots for connecting to Linux VMs via SSH from a Chromebook, using common SSH clients or Chrome OS's built-in SSH capabilities.
- Include examples and guidance for using open-source or third-party RDP clients (such as Remmina, FreeRDP, or Chrome Remote Desktop), especially for Linux VM scenarios.
- Clarify the differences in connection workflows for Windows and Linux VMs, ensuring both are covered with equal detail and visual aids.
- Add troubleshooting tips and configuration notes for Linux VMs, such as enabling RDP on Linux and handling certificate warnings.
- Avoid recommending Microsoft Remote Desktop as the sole or primary solution; present it as one of several options, with pros and cons for each.
