Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. All built-in task examples and configuration primitives (WinGet, PowerShell, Desired State Configuration) are Windows-specific. There are no references to Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., Bash, apt, Homebrew, shell scripts), nor examples for customizing non-Windows dev boxes. Windows tools and patterns (WinGet, PowerShell DSC) are mentioned exclusively and before any cross-platform alternatives. This bias may create friction for teams wanting to use Linux/macOS dev boxes or customize them with native tools.
Recommendations
- Add examples and guidance for customizing Linux/macOS dev boxes, including using Bash, shell scripts, apt, yum, Homebrew, etc.
- Clarify whether Dev Box supports non-Windows images and, if so, provide parity in documentation for those platforms.
- Include sample YAML image definition files for Linux/macOS environments.
- Mention cross-platform configuration tools (e.g., Ansible, shell scripts) if supported.
- Explicitly state platform limitations if Dev Box is Windows-only, to set expectations.
