windows_first
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically Microsoft Dev Box and Visual Studio on Windows. All command-line examples use PowerShell or Windows-specific tooling (e.g., devenv.exe), and there are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided. The workflow assumes the use of Windows-based images and does not mention or support Linux-based development environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux-based dev boxes, if supported.
- Include cross-platform or Linux-specific commands for cache generation, or explicitly state if the feature is Windows-only.
- Mention and document any limitations or lack of support for Linux environments up front.
- If possible, suggest alternative workflows or tools for Linux users (e.g., using VS Code with similar caching or performance optimizations).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows options are given equal prominence where both are supported.
