Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias by exclusively recommending and illustrating the use of Microsoft Remote Desktop (a Microsoft tool) for connecting to lab VMs from a Chromebook. While it briefly mentions that third-party RDP clients like Chrome Remote Desktop are possible, it discourages their use and does not provide any examples or guidance for them. The documentation also assumes RDP as the default protocol, which is most commonly associated with Windows VMs, and does not provide parity for Linux-native remote desktop protocols or clients. Linux VM connection via SSH is mentioned only in passing, with no Chromebook-specific SSH guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide step-by-step instructions for connecting to Linux VMs via SSH from a Chromebook, including recommended SSH clients or Chrome OS terminal usage.
- Include examples and guidance for using alternative RDP clients (such as Chrome Remote Desktop or open-source options) on Chromebook, especially for users who may not wish to use Microsoft Remote Desktop.
- Clarify the limitations and requirements for third-party clients, and offer troubleshooting or configuration tips for their use.
- Present Linux connection options (SSH and RDP) with equal prominence and detail as Windows options.
- Add a comparison table of supported remote desktop protocols and clients for Chromebook users.
