Project mention: Windows is the malware compatibility layer for everything | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-13
It's not quite the same though, as there are different considerations when using a repository of things a unified group has decided should be included and built (or slightly modified existing) packages for and a repo where anyone can submit a package that will go through some level of vetting. In the end I still believe most this discussion is really about individuals and how much trust they apply towards different groups and sources and is not really about Linux or Windows in particular as much.

windows-powershell-docs
This repo is used to contribute to Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and MDOP PowerShell module documentation.
It is because you use the -Filter parameter from Get-ADUser, which uses PowerShell Expression Language Syntax. This can cause some quirky behavior because the syntax is very strict.
