Hi Keith,
TrueNAS, FreeNAS over any single protocol like SMB, NFS etc because it does them all.  But more importantly it can do Object Storage.  Object storage is the future.  Look into Minio on TrueNAS/FreeNAS.

Minio will set up an Object store on your local NAS and then you can deliver file access over ReST/ HTTP/HTTPS

Hi,

Lets say I have a kubuntu desktop, a ubuntu file server, and a windows
desktop, how can I configure the kubuntu desktop and win11 desktop to
share files on my ubuntu file server?

ChatGPT says I should use Samba for both Linux and Windows.

What is the advantage of using a NAS like TrueNAS over SMB?

Thanks!!
Keith
