Summary:
The documentation page focuses exclusively on using the Microsoft Remote Desktop app (a Microsoft/Windows-centric tool) for connecting to lab VMs from a Chromebook. It provides detailed steps and screenshots for this tool, with only a brief mention of alternative RDP clients (like Chrome Remote Desktop) in a note, and no instructions or examples for using them. The process for connecting to Linux VMs is only mentioned in passing, with no Linux-specific RDP client guidance or parity in examples.
Recommendations:
- Provide step-by-step instructions for using alternative, platform-neutral or open-source RDP clients (such as Chrome Remote Desktop, Remmina, or FreeRDP) on Chromebook.
- Include screenshots and examples for connecting to both Windows and Linux VMs, highlighting any differences in the process.
- Mention and link to documentation for configuring and using SSH for Linux VMs, as SSH is often the preferred method for Linux remote access.
- Rephrase recommendations to not exclusively promote Microsoft Remote Desktop, but to present it as one of several supported options.
- Ensure that Linux VM connection workflows are given equal prominence and detail as Windows VM workflows.
