☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻 This is the single most important response you'll get, OP. Don't go cheap or you will regret it AND you'll have essentially wasted your money. A "J" model is just good enough to do one thing; solid backup repository or basic file server for 2-3 people on a LAN. Some here will tell you "it will do" and it will, but only just... Up your budget and don't opt for anything less than a + PLUS model. 2-bay if that's all you can afford, but a 4-bay offers much better RAID options and scalability for your money.
Misspelling is not unusual in family history research. Unless you have a preponderance of solid sources that confirm this spelling, it might just be a reflection of the writer's literacy or (mis)understanding .
Just another plug for LaTeX. If you're an old word-processor hack like me, it has a bit of a learning curve, but it is just beautiful to use once you get the hang of it. I use Kile on KDE, but Texstudio is excellent as well.
Just having a lot of files in a bucket would have no impact on your upload speed. However, if your upload is syncing/comparing with existing files in the bucket, that can slow things down. Also, if your application is doing some processing (versioning, encrypting, hashing, syncs, etc) the slowdown might be on your side. If your uploads are brand new files that have never been uploaded before, that shouldn't slow things down, but if they're existing files that are being updated, that might well slow down the processing. In that case, it would be a processing bottleneck, not a bandwidth issue. Opening a support ticket might help you narrow down the source.
I expect your NAS would have a short life in that environment. While the spec say max recommended operating temp is 40c, I'd hesitate to run computers in that temp for very long. As noted, much depends on what your internal temps are like, While it's probably less than your stated max, it's still pretty friggin warm for a computing environment. The recommended temp for a server room is 10 - 28°C, with 22-26C being ideal.
Fedora & Mint are reasonable options, although I consider Mint a better choice for a windows-to-linux noob. You're could also try out a few distros/desktop environments to see what feels right for you.
kwallet manages your system passwords for you. It's a secure option for users who don't have any other. Of course, KDE is going to recommend their internal and very secure wallet to manage passwords within your system. You're not required to use it. As for the button malfunction; is that you wayland?
Do we know how they got access to the NAS? Was it shared on the internet? Did they hack into the network, find a NAS and were able to log in and launch the ransomware?
So... admin account active; no backup; probably default firewall settings, most likely default ports... Did you do ANYTHING to harden your NAS? This is starting to sound like an open invitation to all hackers. I'm curious to know about your approach to password strength and security. Tell me it wasn't "password123"
Linux Mint is a great choice because it's stable, reliable, well documented, has great hardware support, and an intuitive interface for new Windows-To-Linux users.
Can you explain what you mean by *my NAS storage incorporates right iCloud Drive” … I am asking because I don’t have this feature when I open my Synology Drive .. kindly explain
imported your "data" from where? If you've connected to an IMAP account, these folders are part of that account. You may or may not be able to remove them, but you can choose whether or not to subscribe to them by right-clicking on your account name just above the folders, and selecting "Subscribe..."
In addition to the redundancy advantage, you'll gain a bit in read speed with RAID1.
Nobody is going to be able to fully answer your question. Your best bet is to run tests and verify what works best for your setup and hardware.
The thing with a NAS is that you get it for one single purpose and at first you’re all happy.

it could be wayland, btw it ask me again after some time it happens when i try to connect to wifi i hope it gets fix
It's wanting to save your wifi password so it can autoconnect to that wifi. If you don't want kwallet,
Yahoo still exists?
Mate, you're making this waaaayy too complicated. Backup your data and do a fresh install of Mint xfce. How hard is this?

He said they were outside. Probably just looked through the window and saw the password stuck to his screen on a sticky note...

I’m reading Indianapolis now. Yeah!
you are correct!
Read, comprehend, learn...

I think they mean because it’s the same photo displayed 😂

Charles E Allenbach and Henriette Davis must be twins...
Well I will try another DNA site then. Thank you for replying to me
You're welcome. Also, your post is a bit unclear...

My question exactly.
Doesn't happen on my system. [openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240429 | Plasma Version: 6.0.4 | Kernel: 6.8.7-1-default (64-bit) ]

If he created them he can remove them. I've deleted several IMAP folders.
Well, yeah, that's true, but he didn't say he created them, now did he?
