Summary
The documentation page for Dev Box customizations demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All examples and references to scripting and package management are centered on PowerShell and WinGet, which are Windows-specific tools. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents (such as Bash, shell scripts, or apt/yum/homebrew), nor are there examples or guidance for customizing non-Windows dev boxes. The documentation assumes the use of Windows environments and does not address cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add examples and instructions for customizing Linux and macOS dev boxes, including supported scripting languages (e.g., Bash, shell scripts) and package managers (e.g., apt, yum, zypper, homebrew).
- Clarify whether Dev Box supports non-Windows operating systems and, if so, document the customization process for those platforms.
- If only Windows is supported, explicitly state this limitation early in the documentation.
- Provide parity in examples by including both Windows (PowerShell/WinGet) and Linux/macOS (Bash/apt/homebrew) customization tasks.
- Mention any platform-specific constraints or differences in the customization workflow.
