Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing the Windows App as the method for connecting to a dev box, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives. All connection instructions and prerequisites center on Windows tooling, and there are no examples or guidance for users on Linux or macOS platforms. This creates friction for non-Windows users, who may not know how to access their dev boxes.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions for connecting to a dev box from Linux and macOS, such as using RDP clients (e.g., Remmina, KRDC, FreeRDP, Microsoft Remote Desktop for macOS).
- Include platform-specific prerequisites for Linux and macOS, listing supported remote desktop clients and download links.
- Present connection options for all platforms in parallel, rather than focusing solely on Windows.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in experience between platforms.
- If browser-based access is supported, highlight this as a cross-platform solution.
