Synology runs a customised version of Ubuntu. Could I replace it with Debian? No I could not, not without being able to crack the DRMed boot loader! Next time I'm just getting a second-hand Microserver and installing FreeNAS.

You can install your own software on Synology, there's no DRM (apart from Secure Boot which can be turned off).

But why? You're buying Synology because you want a complete solution. A stand-alone server would be cheaper, because you won't be paying for Synology software.
