Yes, it runs NixOS and I am too cowardly to bother changing that any time soon. It's got everything on a giant ZFS array and most distros have poor ZFS support.
This is the complete opposite of my experience. For most "server" style distros (IE not arch/arch derivatives) you just install the zfs modules and forget about it. Ubuntu even has them pre baked on their kernel.
Arch gets complicated because it's a rolling release so the zfs module supported kernel versions gets out of sync with the latest kernel version which can prevent system updates due to irresolvable requirements which can go on for days/weeks as they play catch-up with eachother but you can just install the lts kernel and mostly avoid that issue.
For (mostly) every other distro they are a lot more coordinated in their releases so the zfs module will work with the newer kernel without any issues.
Other than that I can't think of what poor support even means, once it's installed it works. You can even have zfs on root for most distros.

Does the NAS run NixOS?
