Hi, I've been trying to run a generic Powershell script on my Linux machine (Centos-7) where PowerShell core is installed. however, the script is throwing an error because it's not able to find the CimCmdlets module installed. Going through the documentation, I figured the module is not supported on the Linux platform. I basically want to use Get-CimInstance commandlet

Most output from *nix is just text files, but it won't look the same as what you see in Windows, or even contain the same information.
