Oh, how things change!

Windows and Linux used to mix well as oil and water. In recent years, Microsoft has embraced Linux. That's especially true for servers and clouds. Now, believe it or not, you can install and run PowerShell, the Windows shell language, on Linux as an Ubuntu snap.

Snaps are containerised software packages. They're designed to install the programs within them on all major Linux systems without modification. Snaps do this by developers bundling a program's latest libraries in the containerized app. So, for example, using snap, you could install PowerShell Core on Fedora or openSUSE as well as Canonical's Ubuntu.
