`Find-PSResource` should tell what platforms a resource supports
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Find-PSResource should tell what platforms a resource supports.
- Windows only?
- Unix only?
- Could a module work on MacOS but not Linux?
- All platforms that PowerShell supports?
There does not seem to be a standardized way to tell if an object obtained with Find-PSResource can be installed and used on Unix.
The PSEdition visible in PowerShell Gallery seems to be present in the tags:
- PSEdition is set with tags
PSEdition_<edition>, examplePSEdition_CoreandPSEdition_DesktopwithAz.Accounts.(Find-PSResource -Type 'Module' -Repository 'PSGallery' -Name 'Az.Accounts' -ErrorAction 'SilentlyContinue').Tags.Where{$_.StartsWith('PSEdition_')}- https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/az.accounts
If PSEdition_Core is present it does not neccessarily mean it supports Unix, right?
Current info from Find-PSResource
Here's the output of:
Find-PSResource -Type 'Module' -Name 'Az.Accounts' -Repository 'PSGallery' | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 | clip

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
No response
It's a fair point that just because a module is written for PSCore doesn't mean it supports all platforms. For instance, a module might be a wrapper to a windows-only or linux-only binary.
The tricky thing is how to make this extensible for future platforms that we don't even know exist yet.
