Security management of end devices without AD
For Mac, I recommend people be familiar with how Google manages Macs even if they decide to go a different direction, like Mosyle or Jamf. For Windows, be familiar with [DSC]() and know that the first-party Intune service is basically a DSC-Pull service.
-
Setting DNS on Windows servers
Whether these instances should be under a CM system like DSC or Ansible, where parameters can be set centrally.
-
Windows Server Admin Center
Our Linux and Mac users have long used RDP to log into Windows. That's largely obsolete, so the plan is for the remaining Windows to be Infrastructure-as-Code via DSC.
-
null route a tld (.zip) for mobile domain-joined computers?
Intune is basically a DSC Pull service, and you can roll your own if you're so inclined.
-
Cloud auth and/or management for remote linux laptops
Intune is a SaaS MDM that leverages DSC, which you can do yourself, if you want. In fact, DSC even supports Linux, to some degree. Nobody uses that, but it's there if someone wants to unify their client management with it.
-
what is your best method do deploying a software to clients?
Intune is a subscription service that uses the Desired State Configuration component built into Windows 10+, and DSC-Pull Service.

IT on a budget (school)
On Windows hosts, we use a DSC Pull-based Configuration Management system, which is the same thing that Microsoft's "Intune" subscription CM runs on. You could think of it as the open-source version of Intune -- more understanding to implement, but without the vendor baggage. I believe that DSC is present on "Home" versions of Windows, whereas "Home" versions cannot join an MSAD domain and are otherwise purposely feature-limited.
- Is there a package or method of tracking what changes installers make to a system?
-
Anybody using Desired State Configuration (DSC)
You can invoke DSC directly, if you'd like. Microsoft is quietly burying it now because they've been successful in pushing their userbase into subscription cloud services, but you can implement a DSC Pull Server and implement your own in-house version of Intune. An extremely good resource is The DSC Book, now free on Github.
-
Is there an equivalent to Windows 11 SE for non education enterprises?
DSC LCM and Intune claim to support Linux, for what it's worth. The document that says Intune supports Linux, Android, etc., conspicuously doesn't say that Intune supports 11 SE, interestingly. One wonders if the DSC client, the LCM, is present in 11 SE.

FYI stylus's work through Windows Remote Desktop. Also have WIP on freerdp for linux to windows remote stylus-ing, but needs more dev work (help?)
On the linux side, recently I hacked on freerdp to get basic pen & eraser functionality working from the X11 client to be able to remote from linux to windows: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/pull/9080

How Complicated Are RemoteApps?
FreeRDP has had RemoteApp support for a long time. I'd try out that client and see if you could get debugging messages -- or possibly it might just work? They have documentation on the protocol, and pointers to Microsoft's documentation.
