From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The question then is, how much can you actually do in the shell.
Good luck setting up many programs that way when they soley rely on the GUI and documentation about configs or their database structure is nonexistant.
What CLI tools do you find have install problems on Powershell?
Everything I've used can be installed "headless", often using
wingetnow.But powershell just sucks and windows file system is cumbersome, so limux is still better.
I'm a sysadmin and do most everything in Powershell, there's very few things that I need a GUI for.
If it's something not documented, I usually run the program on a test bench while using procmon, that will show me which registry key or config file needs to be modified, which can then be done from the command line.
I find many programs meant for servers and businesses have no problem being CLI installed, though the install is most often installed silently through intune or group policy when that's the case.
Yeah MS has actually gotten a lot better with what can be done headless and even just remote PowerShell commands can do a lot these days.
Heck, you can install PowerShell on Linux to manage windows boxen if you're so inclined
