Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively referencing the Windows App as the method to connect to a dev box, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives. All connection instructions and prerequisites focus on Windows tools, and there are no examples or guidance for users on non-Windows platforms. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may need to connect to their dev boxes using other remote desktop clients or protocols.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions for connecting to a dev box from Linux and macOS, including recommended remote desktop clients (e.g., Remmina, FreeRDP, Microsoft Remote Desktop for macOS).
  • Include platform-specific prerequisites for Linux and macOS, such as installation steps for compatible remote desktop clients.
  • Provide examples and screenshots for connecting from non-Windows platforms.
  • Clarify whether browser-based access is cross-platform and provide details if so.
  • List any limitations or differences in experience for Linux/macOS users.
