Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All troubleshooting steps, examples, and tool references are specific to Windows environments (e.g., Windows Update, Hyper-V, Windows Hello, certutil, PowerShell cmdlets). There are no examples or troubleshooting steps for Linux or macOS clients or dev boxes, nor are cross-platform tools or alternative workflows mentioned. The guidance assumes the user is operating in a Windows-centric environment.
Recommendations:
- Add troubleshooting steps and examples for connecting to dev boxes from Linux and macOS clients, including using open-source RDP clients (e.g., Remmina, FreeRDP, rdesktop).
- Include guidance for dev boxes running Linux (if supported), such as handling remote desktop protocols (e.g., xrdp, VNC) and relevant troubleshooting steps.
- When mentioning tools like certutil or PowerShell cmdlets, provide equivalent commands or approaches for Linux/macOS (e.g., using OpenSSL, SSH, or native certificate management tools).
- Avoid assuming Windows as the default environment; structure sections to address both Windows and non-Windows scenarios, or clearly indicate when a step is Windows-specific.
- Reference cross-platform documentation or official Microsoft Remote Desktop clients for Linux/macOS where applicable.
