Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively recommending the Microsoft Remote Desktop app (a Microsoft/Windows-centric tool), prioritizing RDP (a protocol most associated with Windows), and providing no Chromebook-native or open-source Linux/UNIX RDP client examples. While it mentions connecting to Linux VMs via RDP, it does not provide SSH instructions or alternatives for Linux VMs, nor does it discuss open-source or non-Microsoft RDP clients in detail.
Recommendations:
- Include examples of connecting to Linux VMs using SSH from a Chromebook, as SSH is the default and more secure method for Linux remote access.
- List and provide instructions for open-source or cross-platform RDP clients available on Chrome OS (e.g., Remmina, FreeRDP, or Chrome Remote Desktop), including their installation and usage.
- Clarify that while Microsoft Remote Desktop is recommended for Windows VMs, Linux VMs may be better accessed via SSH, and provide step-by-step SSH connection instructions.
- Balance the mention of Microsoft tools by giving equal prominence to non-Microsoft alternatives, especially for Linux VM scenarios.
- Add a troubleshooting section for common Linux/SSH connection issues on Chromebook.
