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

    All I remember is the years of M$ using lawsuits and FOSS to try and kill Linux. Using anything from Windoze is like saying, yeah, but the Nazi built some good stuff too. M$ tried to murder our baby, and should never be forgiven nor trusted.

    I work on both Linux and windows machines for some software projects. It’s nice to be able to write powershell helper scripts and have it work on both.
