Answer 1

Although James Eby's answer is correct, there has been some new info that I found useful.

There is now PowerShell Core available for cross-platform use. And it is open source!

Here is some useful points from the article from Microsoft:

PowerShell now officially supports macOS and Linux, including:

• Windows 7, 8.1, and 10
• Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, 2016
• Windows Server Semi-Annual Channel
• Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, and 17.04
• Debian 8.7+, and 9
• CentOS 7
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
• OpenSUSE 42.2
• Fedora 25, 26
• macOS 10.12+

Logging

On macOS, PowerShell uses the native os_log APIs to log to Apple's unified logging system. On Linux, PowerShell uses Syslog, a ubiquitous logging solution.

SSH-based PowerShell Remoting

The PowerShell Remoting Protocol (PSRP) now works with the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol in addition to the traditional WinRM-based PSRP. Source
