$500 for a drive cage and shitty PC? You could probably build the same thing for < $100.
I priced one out, you'd probably be in the ballpark of like $230 (before putting in hard drives) and it wouldn't be in a snazzy case like that is, so maybe that's worth the extra $250 ?
"hey helpdesk, when you get a new user you need to do [thing 1] and [thing 2] and I only see a WO for [thing 2]."

yea, I would say in general if you're buying a NAS it's because you want to have a purpose built box for it. I had a couple roll my own NAS solutions at home in the past using cheap/old hardware and found that over time just buying a purpose built box was more efficient overall.

I'm kinda with Entaru that when it comes to a server, if I'm going to use Ubuntu, I just use Debian instead. And then that's only if I have some compelling reason not to use CentOS instead. If there's a ppa for, let's say, a Unifi Controller, I'm totally spinning up a Debian server for that. And flatly ignore that the install instructions are for Ubuntu.
Not really concerned with support where I'm at. That's usually when I try and explain a situation to someone who's unfamiliar with my environment, which then hamstrings their ability to help me, and thus wastes my time trying shit instead of me going back, studying up, and reversing something I probably fucked up to begin with.
yum is definitely nowhere near as awesome as apt, but it's still a decent package manager with its own set of tricks. Ubuntu isn't difficult to harden, but I don't know what qualification of that you're looking for. Iptables rules saving tends to be a hair-pulling event when I have to re-invent how to save and load them automagically again, I do know that this pisses me off every time.
We use Ubuntu for a lot of our workstations, but that's between me and my boss. I'd prefer not using Ubuntu because Canonical's best interest is in selling their Landscape service, so their OS isn't generally going to be as friendly to mass management tools. Plus I hate Unity, learn 2 search app "menus", and the general lack of options when it comes to how the hell the desktop is laid out. But Edubuntu was a great flavor for our LTSP builds, and Ubuntu MATE has been very friendly for our LTSP-PnP builds, now using fat clients. In the next few years, who knows? I still like Linux Mint. Like, a lot. Pretty much any distro/flavor that has a proper dive-able application menu and/or a configurable desktop, is pretty much what I prefer for users (Ubuntu gets an F, btw).

I still have no idea why "hide file extensions of known file types" is still a thing
it causes way more problems than it's worth
Well, and it's taught people incorrect assumptions of what filenames look like. When Windows first came out, part and parcel of the deployment was making sure that the end user could teach themselves how the system works simply by using it. That's why you have menus that can access every function of the system. That's why you have Solitaire installed by default. And that's why filename extensions weren't hidden. The convenience changes have merely pushed end users backwards and have only hurt them in the process. I'll admit my bias: I got into and learned 'puters because I wanted to know what all of these damn buttons did. I typed random words I knew into my dad's Apple IIe until the word "LIST" brought up the command list, and then I fucked around with that until his 6 year old son had managed to ruin every program and file he had on his properly floppy disk. I clicked on every program in Windows 3.11 and Mac OS in the vain search of a hidden game (probably the best and worst trick my dad ever pulled on me, telling me there was one, though I'm not sure he was aware of the beneficial effect). I fiddled around with Windows 95 for days on end just to make a stupid LAN game work properly.
This is not to say that kids these days have it too rough or too easy, more that software used to be a self-teaching tool on its own.
tl;dr Stay off my lawn, but if you want to mow it, you can use my mower and have a soda and 20 bucks when you're done.
Google tells me there's an option to make it so when selecting files you can use checkboxes instead of Ctrl or Shift clicking them. I don't actually know if that's what they're referring to or not.

Preview pane is actually buggy as shit and can break things with shared files/file shares. It's kind of amazing.
I've also heard it used as a vector for various malware execution
what since it's buggy as shit

If you're going to run a .deb based os run Debian but you can't get support on that so that leaves it out.
That leaves you SLES and Redhat and between the two I'd go Redhat all the way.
This may be clouded by how much I hate unity. I know unity is gone. I know I am old.
Get off my lawn.

You don't tend to run unity on server environments though. 100% headless with SSH is how I roll.
My current shop is all roughly 85% Windows, 5% CentOS, 5% SUSE, 5% random virtual/physical appliances running whatever distros they came with.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
It's wholly irrational and may be a thing I get over one day.
