Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows. The 'Windows App' is highlighted as the default and recommended client for connecting to dev boxes, with detailed instructions and screenshots for Windows and legacy Remote Desktop clients. There is no mention of Linux-specific remote desktop clients or workflows, nor are there any Linux command-line or desktop environment examples. The browser-based connection is mentioned as an alternative, but Linux users are not directly addressed, and Linux-native tools are not discussed.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit instructions and examples for connecting to a dev box from Linux systems, such as using open-source RDP clients (e.g., Remmina, FreeRDP, rdesktop) or relevant Linux packages.
- Mention Linux compatibility and provide parity in guidance for Linux users alongside Windows and macOS.
- Add screenshots or CLI examples from a Linux environment where applicable.
- Clarify whether the 'Windows App' is available or supported on Linux (e.g., via web or preview builds), and if not, suggest alternatives.
- Ensure that any references to remote desktop clients or connection methods are platform-neutral or provide equal detail for Linux users.
