Correct. Better tuning out of the box for NAS, web GUI to manage everything, and opinionated sys admin types on the forums with strict rules to follow. If is not retired xeons with ECC memory and fans that sound like hair dryers you’re not doing it their way. Once you get past the opinionated stuff it’s not so bad and they want to make sure your data won’t get lost. I’m not familiar with FreeBSD or it’s command line and it makes FreNAS a better fit. Setting up the ZFS pools, permissions, and sharing is easier and I’m not going to mess it up and lose data.
