Hi @zackJKnight, thanks for your feedback!

I had to look at this for a minute, and then I realized: ls only is an alias for get-childitem on Windows, not on Linux, where I made the list of aliases:

I have to think about what the best way forward is: adding a radio button to pick linux of windows behaviour maybe? I'm interested to hear you thoughts as well.

Ah ha. I suppose they didn’t want to override the behavior ‘nix users expect. I’d try to get the client’s OS from your web app (the browser platform).

That's a nice suggestion, getting platform info from the browser. I bet that's possible. I may end up doing both: detect and offer a radio button to switch. What if a user looks something up on their phone, intending to use on pc? Thanks for chiming in, cheers

@Scriptimus added that Get-Service also does not exist on Linux, but it does exist on Windows. This is another reason why a context-aware explanation would be a great thing to have.
