Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It exclusively references the Windows App as the method for connecting to a dev box, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives (such as RDP clients for those platforms). The prerequisites and connection instructions focus solely on Windows tooling, and there are no examples or guidance for users on Linux or macOS. This creates friction for non-Windows users attempting to follow the quickstart.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions or examples for connecting to a dev box from Linux and macOS, such as using open-source RDP clients (e.g., Remmina, FreeRDP, or Microsoft Remote Desktop for macOS).
- Update the prerequisites table to include Linux and macOS requirements and supported connection methods.
- Where the Windows App is mentioned, clarify whether it is available for other platforms, and if not, provide alternatives.
- Consider reordering or parallelizing instructions so that Windows, Linux, and macOS users see their options equally.
