In case you didn’t hear TrueNAS is going partially closed source. However, there seems to be a lack of alternatives.
Any ideas on what to move to?

I setup a standard Arch install, added BTRFS, NFS, SMB, restic (for offsite backups), etc and haven’t looked back.
I installed Cockpit thinking we’d need a GUI, but syncthing just works to mirror our laptops & phones with the NAS, and with multiple versions (by syncthing) I’m happy so far
The only thing that I had issues with was Immich and (major) postgresql updates, but that’s stablising now. And, TBH, the worst thing was just having to scrap the DB and just let it rebuild it (for a few days…)
I went with BTRFS because I can “see” it with standard linux tools like gparted, clonezilla, etc. So I can backup and modify the NAS OS itself, not just my data.
Apart from updates, I haven’t touched it for years.
