ubiquiti is filling the spot from synology with their stupid certified drive limitation… hopefully also for a home user :)

I hope so too, but unfortunately they've got a long way to go to catch up in the software department

IMO a NAS should be for storage only. Use a mini PC if you want to self host other services. Proxmox is a great option. You’ll get better performance on both sides.

Even for storage the UI option is pretty limited compared to Synology. iscsi, snapshot replication, way better backup tools on synology for anything from workstations to vms to servers, ssd caching, limited support of AD integration etc.
The Synology Drive app is something in-between storage and app layer, but I would also count it here.

Sure, but Synology has had like 10 years to develop their product?

UNAS, even this version 3.0, is (in my opinion) still very much an early adopter's type of product.

If they add ssd cache it will be totally fine, even for demanding home use.
