Summary:
The documentation page for Microsoft Dev Box deployment is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. It references Windows-specific management tools (Microsoft Intune, Entra ID, Active Directory), and all device management and configuration examples assume Windows as the guest OS. There are no examples or mentions of Linux-based dev boxes, Linux management tools, or cross-platform considerations. Windows tools and patterns are discussed exclusively, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives provided.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based dev boxes are supported or not. If supported, provide parallel guidance for deploying, configuring, and managing Linux dev boxes.
- Include examples and documentation for managing Linux dev boxes, such as using Azure CLI, SSH, or Linux-native configuration management tools.
- Mention Linux-compatible alternatives to Windows-specific tools (e.g., alternatives to Intune for Linux, or how to manage Linux device configuration and access control).
- Provide sample customization tasks for Linux environments (e.g., using apt/yum/pacman for package installation instead of only WinGet/Chocolatey/PowerShell).
- Clarify any limitations or differences in feature support between Windows and Linux dev boxes, if applicable.
