Not really. It can all be faked. Virtual Directory Servers are a thing. Live javascript transformation of data from a non MS LDAP server, functioning as AD. Just match up the schema, and go. You get real multi master replication (no idea if MS has this now, but they didn’t at the time) and an actually performant server. Plus all the logs just pipe over to your syslog server so you don’t have to rdp into a server and look at event viewer. It can all be done from the shell on the jump server you use to manage everything else.

AD is just LDAP with extra steps.

I’ve managed to banish all but one windows and one osx install from my house. What’s stopping me is a bazillion little windows utility programs for things like updating firmware on radios and such, and some hardware integrated commercial software: Ableton Live, and Serato DJ. I’ve tried lmms, mixxx, ardour, xwax, and many others. I just haven’t been able to be creative with making and mixing music with the open source tools out there. Mixxx is getting really close, but doesn’t have video integration last I checked.

I keep asking these two companies when they will put out a build for linux and have been met with varied responses from corpo garbage to laughter. It’s disappointing.
