Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias by recommending and describing Windows-specific tools (Windows App, legacy Remote Desktop client) for connecting to dev boxes, with no mention of Linux-native clients or workflows. While the Windows App is noted as being cross-platform, there are no explicit Linux instructions, screenshots, or examples. Linux users are not given parity in guidance for connecting to or managing dev boxes.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention and provide instructions for connecting to dev boxes from Linux systems, including recommended RDP clients (e.g., Remmina, FreeRDP, rdesktop) and any required configuration.
- Include Linux-specific screenshots or terminal commands where relevant, especially for connecting via RDP or browser.
- Clarify whether all features (such as multiple monitor support) are available on Linux clients, and provide guidance for any limitations.
- Add a section or callout for Linux users, ensuring they are aware of supported workflows and tools.
- When listing client options, avoid always listing Windows tools first; consider grouping by platform or stating cross-platform options up front.
