Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. It exclusively references Windows-centric tools and technologies such as PowerShell, WinGet, and Desired State Configuration (DSC), with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. All examples and built-in tasks are Windows-specific, and there are no instructions or guidance for customizing dev boxes using Linux shell scripts, package managers (e.g., apt, yum, Homebrew), or other non-Windows tools. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for both the dev box and the customization workflow.
Recommendations
  • Add examples and guidance for customizing dev boxes using Linux/macOS tools (e.g., Bash, shell scripts, apt, yum, Homebrew).
  • Clarify whether Dev Box supports Linux-based dev boxes and, if so, provide parity in documentation for Linux/macOS workflows.
  • Include sample image definition files that use cross-platform or Linux-specific tasks.
  • Explicitly state platform limitations and provide links to Linux/macOS documentation if available.
  • Mention and document any built-in tasks or catalog support for Linux/macOS environments.
