Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all examples and built-in tasks focused on PowerShell and WinGet—both Windows-specific tools. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users, nor mention of cross-platform alternatives. The schema and usage patterns assume Windows as the default, creating friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Add examples for Linux/macOS environments, such as using Bash or shell scripts as built-in tasks.
- Document how to customize dev boxes based on non-Windows images, including supported base images and relevant tooling.
- Introduce built-in tasks for common Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum, dnf, Homebrew) alongside WinGet.
- Clarify platform compatibility for each built-in task and provide parity in features and examples.
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments, or explicitly state platform limitations.
