Since
Get-ComputerInfois a Windows‑specific command and the cross‑platform equivalents depend on PowerShell 6/7+ with some inconsistencies. We are open to suggestions or contributions for a better cross platform detection mechanism, but the .ps1 installer is intentionally documented as the Windows‑supported option with the .sh scripts for non-windows.IMO, I think we should prioritize removing the awk dependency in #620 rather than attempt to make the PowerShell script cross platform to sidestep the main issue.
