Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias, with troubleshooting steps, examples, and tools focused exclusively on Windows environments. All instructions reference Windows-specific features, tools (such as Windows App, Windows Hello, Hyper-V, certutil), and UI elements, with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents or guidance. There are no examples or troubleshooting steps for connecting to or using dev boxes from Linux/macOS clients, nor for resolving issues in non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Add troubleshooting steps and examples for Linux and macOS users, including common connectivity and sign-in issues.
- Mention and provide guidance for alternative remote desktop clients available on Linux/macOS (e.g., Remmina, FreeRDP, Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac).
- Include instructions for resolving certificate and authentication issues on Linux/macOS clients.
- Clarify which issues and solutions are Windows-specific, and provide parity for equivalent issues on other platforms.
- Add notes about Teams, virtualization, and hardware compatibility for Linux/macOS dev boxes if supported.
