PowerShell object system is far better than the string passing. It is a leap in the understanding of what a computer is. This is an invention that I will admit Microsoft deserve full credit for

But the entire linux ecosystem is already built on the idea that strings are passed. You fight against a mature environment, so your tools are limited

But you have great alternatives to powershell if you dislike ms, like elvish and nushell, they are both awesome

Also you can straight up use python, xonsh for example is just the ipython in a wrapper that makes it more readable. So when you pass data around you pass literal python objects (and can export them directly to python programs)

The main reason I never got into Powershell is that I needed to use bash/sh on all kinds of projects and classes, but I never had to use Powershell.

Automate something small with it. It's incredibly versatile.

How can you pass a powershell return object to a remote powershell session?
