Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias: it references Windows-specific tools (such as Windows App, Remote Desktop client, and WSL) without mentioning Linux or macOS alternatives. All remote connection examples and troubleshooting steps are framed in the context of Windows environments, and there are no instructions or screenshots for connecting from Linux or macOS clients. The only mention of Linux is via WSL, which is a Windows feature, not native Linux.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit instructions and screenshots for connecting to Dev Box tunnels from Linux and macOS clients using VS Code.
- Mention and provide examples for remote connection methods available on Linux/macOS (e.g., SSH, VS Code Remote SSH extension).
- When listing connection methods (browser, Windows App, Remote Desktop client), include cross-platform options such as 'Remote Desktop clients for Linux/macOS' or 'open-source RDP clients'.
- Provide parity in troubleshooting steps for users on Linux and macOS.
- Avoid assuming WSL is the only way to use Linux tools; mention native Linux environments as well.
