I'm trying to get our some Linux distros from vCenter by using PowerCLI. But I don't want to get Appliance VMs. So I have 2 different successful PowerCLI scripts those can find these machines. I want merge these scripts but I'm new on PowerCLI and it's syntax.

I'm sharing these scripts at below:

Non-Appliance List:

Get-VM | `

Get-Annotation | `

Where-Object {$_.name -eq "Appliance"} | `

Where-Object {$_.value -eq 'No'} | `

Export-Csv C:UsersmeDocumentsnon-appliance-list.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Linux List:

Get-View -Property @("Name", "Config.GuestFullName","Guest.GuestFullName") | `

Select -Property Name, @{N="COS";E={$_.Config.GuestFullName}}, @{N="ROS";E={$_.Guest.GuestFullName}} | `

Where-Object ({$_.ROS -like 'Centos*' -or $_.ROS -like 'Suse*' -or $_.ROS -like 'Ubuntu*'}) | `    

Select AnnotatedEntity,Name,Value | `

Export-Csv C:UsersmeDocumentslinux-list.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Script I imagined but doesn't worked:

Get-VM | `

Get-Annotation | `

Where-Object {$_.name -eq "Appliance"} | `

Where-Object {$_.value -eq 'No'} | `

Get-View -Property @("Name", "Config.GuestFullName","Guest.GuestFullName") | `

Select -Property Name, @{N="COS";E={$_.Config.GuestFullName}}, @{N="ROS";E={$_.Guest.GuestFullName}} | `

Where-Object ({$_.ROS -like 'Centos*' -or $_.ROS -like 'Suse*' -or $_.ROS -like 'Ubuntu*'}) | `    

Select AnnotatedEntity,Name,Value | `

Export-Csv C:UsersmeDocumentslinux--list.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Maybe It has been a XY-Question. If you have a better way to get Linux VMs those are not appliance, you can say me this method.
