Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing PowerShell scripts and WinGet tasks as the primary means for Dev Box customization. There is no mention of Linux shell scripting, Bash, or Linux package managers, nor are there examples or guidance for non-Windows environments. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric workflow and does not address Linux developer scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Include examples and guidance for Linux-based Dev Boxes, such as using Bash scripts and Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum, zypper) in customization tasks.
- Explicitly state whether Dev Box supports Linux images and, if so, provide parity in documentation for Linux customization workflows.
- Add sample YAML customization files that use Linux scripting and tools, alongside the existing PowerShell/WinGet examples.
- Clarify in the documentation if certain features are Windows-only, and provide alternative approaches for Linux users where possible.
- Mention and document the use of cross-platform scripting (e.g., Python, Node.js) for tasks that need to run on both Windows and Linux Dev Boxes.
