Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively recommending the 'Windows App' for RDP connections from Mac, with no mention of alternative cross-platform or native Mac RDP clients. The instructions focus on Windows-centric tooling and do not provide parity for Linux users or alternatives for Mac users who may prefer open-source or native solutions. Linux connection options are only briefly mentioned in passing, with no detailed guidance or examples.
Recommendations
- Include instructions for connecting via open-source or native Mac RDP clients (e.g., Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac, FreeRDP, or Royal TSX), not just Windows App.
- Provide equivalent examples and detailed steps for connecting to Linux VMs using SSH or X2Go directly from Mac, with screenshots and troubleshooting tips.
- List alternative tools and methods for RDP connections on Mac and Linux, and compare their features and limitations.
- Ensure that Linux connection options (SSH, X2Go, etc.) are given equal prominence and detail as Windows/RDP options.
- Add a section for troubleshooting common issues when connecting from Mac or Linux, including firewall and credential problems.
