You can always get the profile location on any OS by executing $PROFILE at the command prompt. This will output the location of the profile file.

For example, on my Mac

> $PROFILE
/Users/robb/.config/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

Following the XDG Base Directory specification the user's profile file is located at:

~/.config/powershell/profile.ps1
