Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
Lmao that's not just for AD
I only know OpenLDAP and FreeIPA, if there are any other alternatives you got please mention them
But if the windows fanboy doesn't know about it, it's not real. Or if it is, it's not good! /s
Notice how you're ignoring the machine management and selectively choosing to focus on the user management. User management might be fine with Linux, but machine management can't compete with GPOs, especially for managing Windows clients, which is what businesses are using for workstations whether we like it or not.
