Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-centric bias throughout. It references Windows-specific services (Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft Intune), tools (Event Viewer, Group Policy), and troubleshooting steps that are only applicable to Windows environments. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or troubleshooting guidance, and all endpoint and client references assume Windows clients. The documentation also refers to Windows activation endpoints and Windows Desktop clients without mentioning Linux or cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit guidance and examples for Linux clients connecting to Dev Box, such as supported RDP clients (e.g., FreeRDP, Remmina) and their network requirements.
- Provide troubleshooting steps for common Linux client issues (e.g., authentication, certificate handling, group policy equivalents, if any).
- Mention cross-platform tools and alternatives where Windows-specific tools are referenced (e.g., suggest Linux log locations or tools instead of only Event Viewer).
- Clarify which features and requirements apply to non-Windows clients and environments, and note any limitations or differences.
- Add references to Linux documentation for remote desktop connectivity, DNS configuration, and firewall rules.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and cross-platform scenarios are not always secondary to Windows.
