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

    there are other shells that have all the nice powershell things without the weird stuff (at least for not windows people), like nushell

    although I wouldn’t be surprised if powershell was the thing that started the trend of better shells
