Summary:
The documentation exclusively describes steps for connecting Android devices to a dev box using Windows tools and workflows. All instructions reference Windows-specific utilities (Device Manager, Local Group Policy Editor, cmd), and there are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users. This presents a strong Windows bias and lacks parity for developers on other platforms.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions for Linux (and optionally macOS), including how to check device connectivity (e.g., using `lsusb`, `adb devices`), and how to manage USB permissions.
- Describe how to configure USB redirection for remote desktop solutions commonly used on Linux (such as FreeRDP, Remmina, or xrdp), including relevant configuration files or command-line options.
- Include troubleshooting steps for ADB device detection on Linux, such as adding udev rules for Android devices.
- Clearly separate platform-specific instructions, labeling sections for Windows, Linux, and macOS, to ensure all users can follow the documentation.
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only tools (like Device Manager or gpedit.msc) as the default or only method.
