Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-based images (e.g., 'Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise on Windows 11 Enterprise'), requiring Windows Enterprise licenses, and omitting any mention of Linux-based dev box images or workflows. All examples, prerequisites, and recommended images are Windows-centric, with no guidance for Linux users or cross-platform development scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit instructions and examples for creating dev box definitions using Linux images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) from the Azure Marketplace or Compute Gallery.
- List Linux-compatible licensing and identity prerequisites, or clarify if Linux dev boxes are supported and under what conditions.
- Provide example dev box definitions and pools using Linux images, and highlight any differences in setup or management.
- Mention Linux developer scenarios and tools (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, CLI tooling) alongside Windows/Visual Studio examples.
- Clarify in the prerequisites and image selection sections whether Linux-based dev boxes are supported, and if not, state this limitation explicitly.
