Invoke-Command : Windows Principal functionality is not supported on this platform. #6435
Description
Sometimes, When I try to execute a remote command in a PowerShell Session from PowerShell in Linux, I get this error:
Invoke-Command : Windows Principal functionality is not supported on this platform.
From PowerShell in Mac works fine, but with PowerShell in Linux doesn't.
Steps to reproduce
We are connected to a Linux powershell session though a PowerShell session in a system with sshd Subsystem powershell /usr/bin/pwsh -sshs -NoLogo -NoProfile.
Once into the system, we want to execute a command to another Linux powershell session
$pss = New-PSSession -Hostname x.x.x.x -Username xxx -Port xx -KeyFilePath ~/.ssh/xxx
Invoke-Command $pss { $PSVersionTable }

If we connect to the linux machine though ssh with bash, and execute /usr/bin/pwsh Invoke-Command works at first attempt.
