Yeah I wouldn't trust Linksys to do even what their core competency is ... securely. Let alone any NAS.

Sadly the only good home NAS solutions are build it your own (time, hassle) or pay for something more expensive from Synology.

I've been using Fedora Server for this, for several years. There is no GUI front end for configuring Samba, so it does take a bit of time and hassle to learn enough about Samba to edit the sample smb.conf.example the package comes with.

This suggests a GUI is coming, not sure how it will be supported. I'd hope they'd make it possible to wrap that up as a Cockpit plugin. Cockpit is very cool, and is standard with Fedora Server.
