Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows. The 'Windows App' is recommended and described in detail as the default and enhanced experience, with legacy Remote Desktop (a Windows technology) also highlighted. There is no mention of Linux-native remote desktop clients or workflows, nor are there examples or guidance for Linux users. The only cross-platform mention is that the Windows App is available on macOS, iOS, Android, and web, but Linux is omitted. The CLI section references Azure CLI but does not provide parity examples or considerations for Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention and provide instructions for connecting to a dev box from Linux, including recommended Linux-compatible RDP clients (e.g., Remmina, FreeRDP, rdesktop).
- Clarify whether the Windows App is available for Linux or, if not, suggest alternative methods for Linux users.
- Add Linux-specific examples or notes in sections discussing remote desktop connections and CLI usage.
- Ensure that all cross-platform tools are introduced together, or that Linux options are not omitted or relegated to secondary status.
- Include troubleshooting tips or links specifically for Linux users who may encounter issues connecting to dev boxes.
