I have used bash, zsh, ksh, and now powershell. I am by no means an expert on UNIX shells. I could get all my work done on any one of these. My main shell is Zsh with some oh-my-zsh plugins because I’m lazy. What can you do in powershell that you can’t do in any other shell? Also, does the shell you use even matter? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

    No

    Powershell is a Microsoft Windows tool. You will see a lot of new Linux admins bring it over from Windows instead of using native tools. It does run but the functionality is very limited compared to other tools.

    I use PowerShell as my main shell. The reason? The only way that any combination of Ctrl+shift+arrows/home/end works in Linux is by using powershell with vscode terminal. I have tried many other terminals and couldn’t get it to work on bash, there’s always some combination that doesn’t work.
