Other than AI slop appearing in the Asustor's ADM, their security is broken too.

Or at least the password dictionary attack block is not exactly working :-)

I only buy NAS devices (every 10-15 years or so!) that can have installed on them without ever touching the vendor Linux.

An example https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QNAP_TS-433

I don't trust vendor Linux for anything that would connect to the Internets.

@timojyrinki probably could be easily rooted tho but I will rather complain about slop :-) And find these glitches.

@timojyrinki Do you know if there is free alternative for 6404T? A random question but you seem to be always knowledgeable about the alternatives :-) Apollo Lake based bought in 2018. No need to do effort on this, just poking by a chance.

You mean ability to use own software? No, I've only explored QNAP since originally they had great Debian support on their ARM variants. Not sure if there are alternative OSs to somehow flash (similar to routers with openwrt), but I've really liked the ability to flash everything including own u-boot.
