I'm new to PowerShell, transitioning from Python and Bash, and I've noticed there's a noticeable delay when I run scripts in PowerShell on Linux. Is this something that's typical, or could it be a configuration issue on my end?

Yes, it's quite common for PowerShell to be slower on Linux compared to Bash. Overall, it's generally less efficient, especially for direct script execution. If you have specific scripts in mind, sharing those might help diagnose any configuration issues or provide more insight.
For sure, PowerShell can definitely feel slower. A lot of folks are in the same boat, especially if they're used to working with Python or Bash. Just remember that not everyone transitioning from PowerShell to Linux knows Bash, and both PowerShell and Python have their own object-oriented advantages that Bash lacks.
True! PowerShell handles CSV and JSON management really well, which can be a big plus. Sometimes we just have to mix tools based on what we're comfortable with.
I get that! I've been using PowerShell scripts on Linux too, mainly because I'm not as familiar with native Linux tools. It’s a matter of comfort, right?
