Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-centric bias by focusing exclusively on Windows-based virtual desktop workloads, tools, and patterns (such as FSLogix, roaming user profiles, folder redirection, and App Attach). There are no examples, guidance, or references for Linux virtual desktop environments, Linux authentication mechanisms, or Linux-compatible tools. All terminology, scenarios, and recommendations assume a Windows ecosystem.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit guidance and examples for Linux-based virtual desktop workloads, such as using Azure Files with Linux VDI solutions (e.g., Citrix/VMWare Horizon with Linux session hosts).
- Provide authentication and authorization instructions relevant to Linux clients (e.g., using SMB with Kerberos from Linux, or integration with Linux identity providers).
- Add examples of mounting Azure Files shares from Linux (e.g., using mount.cifs or SMB clients on Linux), including sample commands and troubleshooting tips.
- Mention Linux profile/container management solutions if applicable, or clarify the Windows-only scope early in the document.
- If the guidance is intentionally Windows-only, clearly state this at the beginning to set expectations for cross-platform readers.
