What would you recommend instead? I'm about to get one.

Minisforum, beelink, aoostar and many others all make much more competitive offerings.

No in house NAS OS, but tbh I recommend just taking the plunge to learn how to install your own OS, like Linux.

I haven't settled on anything yet. I basically just want something off-the-shelf which I can run containers on and has good version of Synology Drive. But I just migrated from Windows to Linux, and am finding this to be a sticking point. Synology Drive is available on Linux without on-demand sync. QNap supports QSync on Linux but only for Ubuntu, and it seems like manually unpacking the dev file and installing doesn't work with latest versions. Running NextCloud on QNap might be an option.

What should be illegal is patents like this!

From the article:

Last year, NAS company Synology announced that it was ending support for HEVC, as well as H.264/AVC and VCI, transcoding on its DiskStation Manager and BeeStation OS platforms, saying that “support for video codecs is widespread on end devices, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs.”

Well, not anymore lol.
