Aren't most dedicated home NAS units basically 'an unpatched unmaintainable Linux machine' also ?

I think most ppl here have something like a Synology which isn’t too bad with updates…

Of course, my Buffalo NAS can’t compete with that and got fewer updates than my old phone…

My Lenovo NAS, despite continuing to be sold well past when Linux Kernel v4.19 was released... is still on 2.6.32

It is no longer connected to an internet facing network.
