    Yeah, and Linux still doesn’t have a good answer to AD for managing suites of end user machines. Linux has a lot going for it - but windows isn’t strictly inferior or anything.

    Honestly, the entire AD suite with auth and everything else built in is genuinely a good product. And if what you want is supported by Microsoft, their other services are decent as well.

      freeipa is pretty good, although i agree that it’s easier to just use AD

        Every time someone mentions that Linux has no alternative to AD, someone mentions an alternative.
        But somehow it’s a different one that’s mentioned every time.

          Lmao that’s not just for AD

          I only know OpenLDAP and FreeIPA, if there are any other alternatives you got please mention them
