There are no equivalents that encompass the technologies and ease of deployment and management for on-prem.

Samba works just fine as a file server. I'm sure there's some intuitive GUI out there (like Synology's) that makes it easy to set up as a file server only. Not sure about a DC.

But even Microsoft wants you to move to Azure AD + InTune. Arguably more secure and flexible.
