Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, referencing only Windows-specific features (Task view, Registry Editor, Windows App) and providing no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or troubleshooting steps. All instructions, tools, and UI references are exclusive to Windows, with no mention of Linux or macOS support or equivalent workflows.
Recommendations
- Clarify early in the documentation whether Task view and the Windows App are available or relevant on non-Windows platforms (Linux, macOS).
- If the dev box feature is accessible from Linux or macOS, provide equivalent troubleshooting steps for those platforms, such as how to remove stale connections or cached entries.
- If the Windows App is cross-platform, include installation, removal, and troubleshooting steps for Linux and macOS (e.g., using package managers or command-line tools).
- If certain features (like registry edits) are Windows-only, explicitly state this and provide guidance for users on other platforms.
- Consider adding a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, even if only to state current limitations or to link to platform-specific documentation.
