What a sexy looking project. I really wish I could get rid of my Synology and just build a whitebox NAS. I got mine sadly from work for free so I could not justify the cost of building one. I could sell it off on ebay though 🤔
I cant wait to see some pics when you are done with the build!
A question that begs for a hot take. I love it! Manjaro has always made zero sense to me. The power of Arch is in its rolling release cycle and your ability to customize it from the ground up. Both of which you lose when you downloads someone mix of Arch. It always seemed like a flavor for people who want to run Arch but just don’t have the ability to read the documentation to actually run it.
People that make systems like these are not scared of those that stop using em. What they fear is getting information wrong or spam. Using these facts you can then adjust to the changes.
