- Types provided by unmanaged libraries, especially COM. The ParsedHtml property on the objects returned by Invoke-WebRequest, for example, is of a COM class provided by mshtml.dll - an Internet Explorer component. Since that functionality has not been ported, that property is null on other platforms.
- Cmdlets to manage Windows-only systems. Linux doesn't have the Windows concept of Modern apps, so all the Appx-related cmdlets aren't there. Similarly, Linux PowerShell is missing cmdlets for Hyper-V, Windows Firewall, and so on.
Though lots of things do work perfectly fine on any platform, it's advisable to test a script on at least one non-Windows OS. I find Bash on Ubuntu on Windows a convenient way of doing that - installing PowerShell in there is just the same as on a real Ubuntu machine.
