I have not used PowerShell that much, because I'm so used to bash that it felt foreign.

There are other shells you can try, more modern, perhaps they will be more to your liking.

Understandbly theres no real need to use powershell outside of the windows realm.

As far as my limited experience understood it: Everything powershell gives you is in a properly formatted data type (e.g. bool, text, int, etc.) and thus can be more easily manipulated than in bash where everything is treated as text.
