summary
Claims that PowerShell runs on Linux via PowerShell Core and is launched as pwsh and shows how to install it (github package, install script, or one‑liner), use SSH remoting, and blend native tools. Notes concrete limits: ~274 cmdlets on one distro vs ~5000 on Windows, no Out‑GridView, no WMI/CIM, logging via powershell.config.json into syslog/messages. Demonstrates converting systemctl/packages/cron output into objects, reports 24.4% execution usage and Mandiant top tier 65, and offers 75 interactive challenges (one Tesla module example fails).
