Summary
The documentation page for Dev Box customizations demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All examples and instructions reference PowerShell and WinGet, which are Windows-centric tools. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents, nor are there examples or guidance for customizing non-Windows dev boxes. The language and recommendations assume a Windows environment, and Windows tools are presented as the default and recommended approach.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for customizing Linux and macOS dev boxes, if supported.
- Include references to cross-platform scripting options (e.g., Bash, shell scripts) and package managers (e.g., apt, yum, Homebrew) alongside PowerShell and WinGet.
- Clarify whether Dev Box supports non-Windows operating systems, and if so, provide parity in documentation for those platforms.
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments, and avoid recommending Windows tools as the default without alternatives.
- Indicate any platform limitations or requirements up front so users know if the documentation is Windows-only.
