"Any shell that can be installed and run on *nix systems is on topic here as long as it is being run on *nix." Also, any *nix shell (and related commands) that can be run on non-*nix systems is also on topic. Cygwin, for example. Would your differentiation of "allowing PowerShell as long as it is being used on a *nix system" mean that I could ask how to use Get-ChildItem in a script running on Linux but not in that same script running natively under Windows?

| Jul 21, 2021 at 16:20 | comment | added | Kusalananda Mod | This echoes my own opinion on this matter. Powershell is an application usable on Unix-like systems. Question relating to its use are on-topic here to the degree that people think that they will find an audience that is likely to solve those issues. It may well be that some Powershell issues are better answered on SuperUser or elsewhere due to the lack of Powershell users here, but that does not in itself disqualify those questions from U&L. (compare questions on U&L about Vim and Bioinformatics, two topics that even have dedicate SE sites). | |
