PowerShell Core for Linux Administrators Cookbook

The goal of PowerShell Core is to remain as compatible as possible with Windows PowerShell. PowerShell Core uses .NET Standard 2.0 (https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/standard/net-standard) to provide binary compatibility with existing .NET assemblies. Many PowerShell modules depend on these assemblies (oftentimes DLLs), so .NET Standard allows them to continue working with .NET Core. PowerShell Core also includes a heuristic to look in well-known folders—such as where the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) typically resides on disk to find .NET Framework DLL dependencies.
