Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with nearly all troubleshooting steps, tools, and examples focused on Windows clients and Windows-based dev boxes. Windows-specific tools (e.g., Windows App, gpedit.msc, Registry Editor, dsregcmd.exe, reg.exe) are mentioned exclusively or before any macOS alternatives, while Linux clients are not addressed at all. Mac instructions are present only for one scenario, and Linux is entirely omitted.
Recommendations
- Add troubleshooting steps and examples for Linux clients, including how to connect to dev boxes from Linux and how to configure remote desktop settings (e.g., switching to TCP) using Linux tools.
- Provide parity in examples: for every Windows-specific command or tool (e.g., dsregcmd.exe, reg.exe, gpedit.msc), include equivalent steps for Linux/macOS where possible, or clarify if not applicable.
- Mention cross-platform remote desktop clients (e.g., FreeRDP, Remmina) and how to use them with Dev Box.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and provide alternative guidance for non-Windows users.
- Reorder sections or provide tabs so that Windows, macOS, and Linux instructions are presented equally and clearly.
