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.

TBH, I use Powershell on my Windows install, and they've made some good improvements over the years. I forget that it also works on Linux.
Shame v1.0 ships with new installations, and you have to manually go out and install the latest versions to get the benefits. Dunno why MS doesn't just automatically update it with everything else.
V1 never actually shipped with any version of Windows
Windows 7 shipped with V2, 8 with V3, 8.1 with v4, and 10 with v5 and later 5.1.
5.1 is the latest (and last) version of Windows PowerShell.
All versions after that are just PowerShell (or PowerShell Core for version 6)
Not sure why they don't bundle it by default, but starting at v7.2 it can be updated by Windows update
Version 2 came with Windows 7. Version 5 comes with Windows 10 (and I think 11). V7 is the latest but being cross-platform doesn't come with some of the Windows-specific modules built into v5.
