Oh interesting. Maybe I'll run two DCs, a real Windows one and a Linux one. See if they'll communicate/replicate with each other.

You might be able to use Samba under Linux for that purpose. If I remember correctly, Samba 4 can be configured as a Microsoft domain controller. I haven't checked which version of Samba is in Debian 12, but I would expect it to be relatively up to date. To be specific, Samba apparently implements all of the necessary Microsoft protocols, Kerberos, LDAP, etc. This would all be accomplished via a configuration file - no accessibility issues are involved.
