The official docs doesn't have a section for CachyOS or Arch Linux.
I tried following some guides online to build it myself, to install AUR, snap, pacman, and I don't know what other methods, but none of them worked for me.
Does someone have a clear step by step guide on how to install Powershell on CachyOS/Arch please?

I managed to get it installed and I can see it in my apps:
But opening that just says the following:
> Launching Powershell Preview (Failed)
>
> No Exec field in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/powershell_powershell.desktop
So seems like whatever I did was wrong.
