Summary:
The documentation for Microsoft Dev Box architecture exhibits a Windows-centric bias. It exclusively references Windows management tools (e.g., Microsoft Intune), Windows device management, and Windows-specific identity services (Microsoft Entra join/hybrid join, Active Directory). There are no examples or mentions of Linux-based dev boxes, Linux management tools, or cross-platform development scenarios. The documentation assumes the dev box is a Windows VM and does not address Linux developer needs.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based dev boxes are supported or not. If supported, provide equivalent guidance for Linux dev boxes, including management, connectivity, and configuration.
- Include examples and references for managing Linux dev boxes (e.g., using SSH for connectivity, Linux configuration management tools, and relevant identity integration).
- Mention cross-platform development scenarios and how Microsoft Dev Box can be used for non-Windows environments.
- If only Windows is supported, clarify this limitation early in the documentation to set expectations for Linux users.
- Provide parity in documentation structure and detail for both Windows and Linux environments if both are supported.
