Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. All examples and troubleshooting steps reference Windows-specific tools (WinGet, PowerShell, Windows file paths, and registry modifications). The CLI and log file locations use Windows conventions exclusively. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or examples provided, and Windows patterns (such as running VS Code as administrator and using C:\ paths) are presented as defaults. Linux and macOS users are left without guidance for adapting these instructions to their platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux/macOS users, including equivalent tools (e.g., apt, yum, bash scripts) and file paths.
  • Clarify which Dev Box features and built-in tasks are Windows-only and which are cross-platform.
  • Provide troubleshooting steps and log file locations for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Include notes or tables comparing Windows and Linux/macOS workflows for common tasks (software installation, scripting, permissions).
  • Ensure that references to PowerShell and WinGet are accompanied by alternatives or caveats for non-Windows platforms.
