From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

zero intergration? Thats just wrong. I'd argue you can do anything with PS on linux that you can with bash.
Perfect example:
Bash:
sudo dnf install pythonOR
PS: `Invoke-Expression 'sudo dnf install package-name'
Stupid to even try and make the argument that PS is a viable solution to anything at all with its ignorant declarations of obvious usage.
With PowerShell on Linux you’d never run dnf starting with Invoke-Expression. It’s completely unnecessary.
This feels like you either legitimately don’t know how it works so are assuming, or are making it more complicated on purpose to make bash look ‘better’.
I’m not saying PowerShell should be used on Linux over bash, but your example is not a good one.
