Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All remote desktop connection examples and instructions are centered around RDP, a Windows protocol, and Windows tooling such as PowerShell scripts and IIS modules. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, either for connecting to lab VMs or for gateway setup. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, IIS, RDGatewayFedAuth.msi) are mentioned exclusively and repeatedly, with no mention of Linux alternatives or cross-platform approaches.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions and examples for Linux and macOS users, including how to connect to lab VMs via RDP (e.g., using xfreerdp, rdesktop, or Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac).
- Mention and document Linux-compatible tools for certificate creation and management (e.g., openssl commands for signing certificates and extracting thumbprints/Base64).
- Clarify whether the gateway and authentication modules (such as RDGatewayFedAuth.msi) are Windows-only, and if so, suggest or document Linux-compatible alternatives or workarounds.
- Include Linux/macOS automation examples (e.g., Bash scripts, Azure CLI commands) alongside PowerShell.
- Discuss cross-platform remote desktop gateway solutions or alternatives, such as using Azure Bastion (already briefly mentioned), and provide parity in setup documentation.
