Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All example images are Windows-based, and all technical instructions (sysprep, DISM, enabling features, cleanup commands) use Windows-specific tools and PowerShell commands. There are no Linux or macOS examples, nor any mention of how to use non-Windows images or tools. The prerequisites and requirements focus exclusively on Windows OS, making it unclear if Linux images are supported or how to prepare them if they are.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Linux images are supported for Dev Box. If not, explicitly state this in the prerequisites.
- If Linux images are supported, add equivalent instructions for preparing, generalizing, and optimizing Linux VM images (e.g., using waagent, cloud-init, or other Linux tools).
- Include examples of compatible Linux images from the Azure Marketplace.
- Provide CLI or shell command alternatives for steps currently shown only with PowerShell or Windows GUI.
- Add notes or sections for macOS users if relevant, or clarify platform limitations.
