You could running PowerShell in Wine: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8049 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Alternatively, you could install MSWindows in a VM, e.g. using VirtualBox, and |
| 26 |
launch this within your Gentoo session without having to logoff/on every time. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Also, if you don't need the complete MSWindows desktop and you have a server |
| 29 |
handy, you could run the MSWindows VM there and access the PowerShell |
| 30 |
application remotely with RemoteApp. |
