Summary
The documentation page for Microsoft Dev Box roadmap demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It references PowerShell and Winget as primary customization primitives, and highlights Windows, RDP, and Visual Studio tooling as core to the developer experience. Linux equivalents (e.g., Bash, Linux package managers, remote desktop protocols) are not mentioned, and Windows-centric tools are referenced before any cross-platform alternatives. There is a brief mention of WSL, but only in the context of accessing it from VS Code, not as a first-class platform.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux/macOS equivalents for customization workflows (e.g., Bash scripts, apt/yum/zypper for package management).
  • Provide examples and documentation for Dev Box customization using Linux-native tools and scripting.
  • Explicitly mention support for Linux/macOS Dev Box images and detail how to configure and manage them.
  • Highlight cross-platform remote connectivity options (e.g., SSH, VNC) alongside Windows RDP.
  • Ensure that onboarding and management features are described with parity for Linux/macOS environments.
