A subset means it doesn't work as well or the same way.

No... It just means that all features may not be available. It makes no comments on how well the existing features work and how compatible they are with the Windows version.
I mean, `Get-ComputerRestorePoint` and `Get-WmiObject` don't mean anything on Linux. I assume those won't be ported. `Get-Process` is certainly meaningful; I assume that will be. The ports might also have cmdlets not available on Windows. I could certainly see cmdlets to interact with `apt` in Ubuntu, or `yum` in RHEL. Especially since PowerShell is focused on provisioning and managing machines.
