Keep in mind that this is "PowerShell DSC" which is a state management tool that leverages PowerShell, not PowerShell itself. [0]
If you're using only Linux, it's difficult to see how this could provide much value add over more mature tools (Puppet, Chef, Ansible, etc etc). However, if you have a mostly Windows centric environment and need to manage a few Linux nodes, this may be become a good option.
At this stage PowerShell DSC has a vaguely "side project" feel to it. It's difficult to opt for something that's relatively unknown and immature to manage your infrastructure, but it seems to me that with enough attention this could be a very useful tool.
