Summary
The documentation for Microsoft Dev Box deployment is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with repeated references to Windows-specific management tools (Intune, Entra ID, Active Directory), Windows device management patterns, and examples involving Windows-centric software installation (WinGet, Chocolatey, PowerShell scripts). There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS dev boxes, nor mention of Linux/macOS-specific configuration, management, or customization workflows. All device management and customization sections assume Windows as the target OS, and Windows tools are referenced exclusively and first.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux/macOS dev boxes are supported, and if so, provide equivalent examples for image creation, customization, and management.
- Include examples of customization tasks using Linux/macOS package managers (e.g., apt, yum, Homebrew) and shell scripts.
- Document how device management, configuration profiles, and conditional access work for non-Windows dev boxes, or clarify limitations.
- Reference cross-platform tools and workflows (e.g., Ansible, shell scripts) alongside Windows tools like PowerShell.
- Add troubleshooting and monitoring guidance relevant to Linux/macOS dev boxes.
- Ensure that any quick start catalogs or templates include Linux/macOS setup tasks, not just Windows/PowerShell/WinGet/Chocolatey.
