Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively referencing the Windows App as the method to connect to a Dev Box, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives. The prerequisites and connection instructions focus solely on Windows tooling, and there are no examples or guidance for users on Linux or macOS platforms. This creates friction for non-Windows users, who may not know how to access their Dev Box or whether alternative clients are supported.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention and provide instructions for connecting to a Dev Box from Linux and macOS, including supported RDP clients or browser-based access.
  • Add a table or section listing connection options for Windows, Linux, and macOS, with download links and basic usage instructions for each.
  • Clarify whether the developer portal and browser-based connection work equally well on non-Windows platforms.
  • If certain features (e.g., multi-monitor support) are Windows-only, clearly state this and suggest alternatives or workarounds for other platforms.
