I’ve been thinking more and more with synology’s recent changes that it would open up the market for some new entrants that are like the system76 of NAS that are:
- low power cpu (arm?)
- uses latest kernel and flavor of Linux distributions
- makes own modular hardware in smallish form factor
- basic support package with slower SLAs to more professional SLAs for enterprises, I would happily pay per month to prevent enshitification if I had guaranteed support and even more so if it bundled some zero trust encrypted cloud storage.
