UnRAID is also great when you know exactly what you’re doing but you do this stuff for work every day and your home stuff you want to be easy and out of the box lol.
My only regret is that I have only one upvote to give this post.
Just because I have the skills to setup a cluster of mini-pcs doesn't mean I want to spend my one-precious-fucking-spare-hour a day making the thing work.

Same, I'm a Linux user since redhat 5 and more than capable of running all the unraid features on a regular Linux distro or proxmox, truenas, whatever ... I just don't want to, I want flexible disk sizes and a bunch of docker containers, that's it. Unraid offers that in a great package.
