Directory Service for heterogenous OS's environment [closed]

I have started to work in a medium sized- soon to be 70 employees and still growing- company as a Junior IT System Administrator, and I've understood there are a lot of changes to be made on the User Management side. The company has different OS's (Mac, Linux and Windows). When onboarding, a new employee creates his local user credentials, then sets his accounts to the cloud services (Github, Tresorit etc) and gets his gmail accounts credentials and other for the company's file server. I thought a solution for that would be SSO, but also a centralized user management, as Active Directory. In the past I have always worked in Only Windows environments, and with Active Directory. Is Active Directory a good fit for also non Windows computers? How can that be done? Or is there other better solutions? It would be best to have a on premises service.
