Powershell SUCKS. No, it blows. Sorry, not sorry. it's worse than Microsoft's rip off off CPM lol (with DOS)! And that's saying something. No thank you. I hated using powershell in my last job. I compared a simple upgrade CSR from 1024 bit to 2048 bit (edit, was also upgrading to SHA256) between Windows server 2008 R2 and Debian GNU/Linux and it was a no brainer.

PHP has always been a painful p.o.s software, no matter what the platform. If it was up to me, PHP would be banned from any web server that I maintained. Period.

If you stick to the best of breed open source software on GNU/Linux, you won't have too many issues. Yes, the system maintenance will confuse the hell out of the average ordinary joe blow. But hey, if you're not smart enough to maintain a computer, you shouldn't bloody well be on the Internet imho. it's idiots like that that get viruses etc and then slow down the whole damn Internet cos of the unwanted virus related traffic. Sorry if I sound elitist, but I'm suck and tired of other idiots ruining my online experience because they are well, idiots, and have no idea what they're doing . I mean, you don't let any old idiot drive a car on the roads, do you?

I've never played with OpenWRT, but my best friend has (to be fair, he's a sysadmin too). he's never had a problem with it. Still, if I was going to that much effort, I'd rather get a Cisco.
