Summary
The documentation is heavily centered around the Power BI App and Power BI Desktop, which are primarily Windows applications. There are no references to Linux or macOS alternatives, nor are there instructions or troubleshooting steps for non-Windows platforms. All screenshots and workflow steps assume the use of the Windows-based Power BI tools, and the only VM-specific reporting highlighted is for Windows Server AHB usage. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may not have access to Power BI Desktop or may need alternative tooling.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations for Power BI App and Desktop, including lack of Linux/macOS support.
  • Provide alternative instructions or links for Linux/macOS users, such as using Power BI web service or other cross-platform BI tools if available.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and examples for non-Windows environments where possible.
  • Add parity in VM reporting by including Linux VM cost management examples or reports.
  • Clarify whether any features (e.g., downloading PBIX files, authentication steps) can be performed via browser or on non-Windows platforms.
