Hey all, sorry for the low level question, but basically I'm looking for the easiest way to set up something like a Windows AD. This would be for something like 10 computers at a local church where I do a lot of their infrastructure work. Is also be interested in sound something similar on my home network, but a while directory is probably overkill. And any suggestions on learnings or other suggestions appreciated!

While LDAP/Samba are the canonical answers for "what is the AD equivalent for Linux", I would also like to point out that you could save yourself the time to maintain this by using an AD SaaS solution like Jumpcloud or similar that supports Linux. Given that you said it's for a church with about 10 computers, there might be a discounted or even free option (eg under the nonprofit category).
