I'm asking because they're might be a way for me to have a Linux laptop at work. But I'd like it to be connected to the Active Directory for login and other accesses. I'm specifically thinking of installing either Kubuntu or Zorin OS. (Zorin seems better)

Anyone got experience with this? How did it go? Was there any advantages or disadvantages in having you computer connected to AD for login?

I think this is something you have to ask your security team or your device management team. If your company isn't big enough to have either of those, then joining the AD isn't mandatory most likely.

We don't have either of those, joining ad is still mandatory.
