Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-centric technologies and patterns, such as FSLogix, roaming user profiles, folder redirection, and Windows VDI solutions. All examples, terminology, and recommendations are tailored to Windows environments, with no mention of Linux or macOS virtual desktop scenarios, SMB client configuration on non-Windows platforms, or cross-platform considerations. There are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or guidance for mounting Azure Files or using them in Linux-based VDI solutions.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for Linux and macOS virtual desktop workloads, including supported scenarios and limitations.
- Provide examples for mounting Azure Files SMB shares from Linux (e.g., using mount.cifs), including authentication and permissions setup.
- Mention Linux-compatible VDI solutions (e.g., Citrix, VMware Horizon with Linux desktops) and how Azure Files can be integrated.
- Clarify whether FSLogix or App Attach features are Windows-only, and suggest alternatives or workarounds for non-Windows platforms.
- Include troubleshooting tips for Linux SMB clients (e.g., handling file handle limits, performance tuning).
