Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias. Examples and explanations for features such as automatic disconnect on idle are provided only for Windows virtual machines, with explicit notes that certain settings are Windows-only. The documentation references the Windows OS definition of idle, but does not provide equivalent Linux details or links. The 'Next steps' section highlights PowerShell as the primary scripting tool for managing lab accounts, with no mention of CLI or Bash alternatives. Linux support is mentioned only as a caveat or limitation, and Linux-specific instructions or examples are missing.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions where features are supported (e.g., how idle detection or shutdown works on Linux VMs).
  • Include parity in tooling recommendations, such as Azure CLI or Bash scripts, alongside PowerShell for managing lab accounts.
  • Where features are Windows-only, offer clear explanations or workarounds for Linux users, and link to relevant Linux documentation.
  • List Linux and Windows support side-by-side in feature tables or callouts, rather than mentioning Linux only as a limitation.
  • Ensure screenshots and examples include both Windows and Linux scenarios where applicable.
