schestowitzPowerShell is such a disappointment to me. If you read the UNIX Haters Handbook, and then look at the concept behind PowerShell, it seems like it should be an improvement. But in practice it feels very slow, especially first launch, and not actually any better than Bash/dash/zsh.Sep 05 20:56

schestowitzInteresting that the Wiki page for PowerShell lists Puppet as one of its influences. I remember Google used Puppet heavily to administer their Goobuntu desktops & laptops. Otherwise, it's Ubuntu. Puppet is a private company supporting an open-source tool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_(company)"Sep 05 20:56

schestowitzSo if you're interested in automating configuration management, I would personally suggest Puppet before trying to use "cross-platform" PowerShell. You might find it better even on Windows, and it definitely does the job on Linux and macOS."Sep 05 20:56
