Summary:
The documentation page for Microsoft Dev Box primarily references Windows environments, notably stating that Dev Box supports only client editions of Windows 10 and Windows 11. There are no examples, mentions, or guidance for Linux-based development environments, tools, or workflows. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows-centric development model, omitting Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based dev boxes are supported or planned, and provide guidance for Linux users if available.
- If Linux support is not available, clarify this limitation early in the documentation to set expectations for cross-platform developers.
- If Linux support is available or planned, add equivalent examples, workflows, and references for Linux environments (e.g., using Ubuntu images, Linux-based tooling, shell scripts).
- Include a comparison table or section outlining OS support and feature parity between Windows and Linux dev boxes.
- Mention cross-platform considerations for development teams that use both Windows and Linux, and provide links to relevant resources.
