> Is there ever a reason not to use powershell? No, you should always use it. Its maybe a problem when ultimate performance is in question, but you can go long way with Powershell - I recently had a web service SOAP client implemented in it that did millions of requests in an hour using threads in less then 50 lines of code consuming less then 3% of server resources (running entire country in single day actually) > I end up just using WSL ubuntu You can have basiclly anthing working without WSL (except maybe docker correctly). > Also I don't really know the commands so it feels crippled to me (no ssh (still? idk), SSH is there. Learn commands along the way. You should def take a book like this one: https://www.manning.com/books/learn-windows-powershell-in-a-month-of-lunches-second-edition https://www.manning.com/books/learn-windows-powershell-in-a-... > not many tools, All usual tools, linux and windows, can be used. You have majority of them hosted on chocolatey.
