Is there a simple way to install PowerShell on DSL running on ProxMox on an intel processor ?

thanks for any guidance and support

Not if it needs systemd or elogind or needs 64-bit. DSL is 32-bit. Try AntiX 64-bit...maybe -base if that's enough. Could start with -full instead of base. If you get that bit running on ProxMox, then just treat PowerShell like you're doing a Bookworm / 12 install. There are a couple very small AntiX 23.X respins going these days, too.

Some ideas in these:

Interesting question. I mean, why not just stick an MS-system in ProxMox, etc? My hunch is that something will need the dotnet/mono stuff downsttream but I've never even thought of this let alone tried so you are blazing the trail, here. Please return a courtesy post to let us know what you found/did if you would be so kind.

Thanks for the fantastic feedback, very appreciated  

I'm a tutor and I teach sessions about operating systems and scripting, I find it beneficial to show learners that PowerShell can be developed and used across Windows, Linux and MacOS.
Linux Mint works great and is really easy to install PowerShell on, but I love to showcase DSL as it's very fast and lightweight.

Thanks. If you feel like documenting the trip, here, it's surely welcome. There are a lot of smart people laying in the weeds around here but pretty decidedly non-vocal most of the time (and they know more than I do about what you're attempting).
