It's a classic (enshittification tactic)

For instance, you can view or edit registry keys of other systems through a PowerShell remote session (using the .NET RegistryKey class)

It's like a built-in Ansible equivalent (the configuring and management part at least). I'll agree that's neat. If I managed a fleet of Windows machine, I would properly learn that.

But I don't think it's something for the average home user. And the Linux way of configuring remote machines is too easy.

The little time I have spent on powershell, I found it to be very slow. The input is also very verbose. I'm sure someone will say it allows one to be specific but I can be equally specific in bash as well. It's like the Java Enterprise of scripting language.

For the investor's sake, I think it should be called the HyperPanel

@Gaspan made a good list. I would like to add a few more points.

  • Make a list of some applications which you use regularly
  • Either search if the applications work on Linux OR see if they have Linux alternative. You can just post the list here and ask the community

Also, get into a mindset of learning. I know you are used to Windows for decades now, but now you are switching to a new OS. It will be bumpy at first but you will get used to it; do not fear it! Imagine switching from a car to a bike. You have to invest a little time in learning. Once you get used to it, it's smooth riding all the way. Best of luck!!

Never heard about it. Couldn't find what makes it different from the others.

that comment had to hurt the crypto community hard
