Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing exclusively on Windows-specific tools and workflows, such as WinGet and Desired State Configuration (DSC), without mentioning or providing equivalent Linux tools or examples. All customization examples and references are tailored to Windows environments, and there is no discussion of Linux-based dev boxes or how to customize them. This may exclude or confuse users who wish to use or manage Linux-based development environments.
Recommendations:
- Add examples and guidance for customizing Linux-based dev boxes, including sample YAML files that use Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum) or shell scripts.
- Mention and provide parity for Linux equivalents to WinGet and DSC, such as using bash scripts, Ansible, or cloud-init for configuration management.
- Explicitly state whether the customization features and Dev Box extension support Linux dev boxes, and if so, provide step-by-step instructions for those scenarios.
- Ensure that references to tools and configuration approaches are not Windows-first; introduce cross-platform options or clarify platform-specific limitations.
- Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux environments where applicable, not just Windows/VS Code on Windows.
