You can already test PowerShell in Ubuntu, Debian and CentOSrn

In the comments section of a recent post I found out that Windows PowerShell had been ported to Linux. Had no clue it was a thing.

Went looking and found this old article attempting to explain why they did it. Not remotely interested in giving up Bash for PowerShell, but I thought it was interesting enough to share. The article seems to be from 2016.

I have never been more tempted to check the NSFW box, but I’ll leave it open for now unless a mod complains. :-D

    So you’re saying Powershell doesn’t uphold Unix Philosophy and thus shouldn’t be used?

      PowerShell actually does uphold the Linux philosophy pretty well. Most functions are in modules that can be imported, disabled or swapped out as appropriate.
