Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias: all troubleshooting steps, error messages, and solutions are specific to Windows environments. Only Windows tools (e.g., Hyper-V, Windows Hello, certutil, Windows Update, Windows Settings) and PowerShell commands are mentioned. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, nor any mention of Linux/Mac clients or dev boxes, despite Remote Desktop being available on multiple platforms.
Recommendations:
- Include troubleshooting steps and examples for Linux and macOS clients connecting to dev boxes, such as using rdesktop, Remmina, or FreeRDP.
- Mention equivalent Linux tools or commands where possible (e.g., how to check network connectivity, manage certificates, or troubleshoot display issues on Linux).
- Clarify whether the dev boxes are exclusively Windows-based or if Linux dev boxes are supported; if so, provide parity in troubleshooting guidance.
- When describing issues like network latency, display problems, or Teams integration, offer platform-agnostic advice or note any platform-specific differences.
- If PowerShell or Windows-specific commands are required, provide analogous commands or steps for Linux/macOS environments where feasible.
- Reorganize sections to avoid always presenting Windows solutions first, or clearly label sections as Windows-specific and provide Linux/macOS equivalents.
