Is serving music over the network using a NUC with Linux OS reasonably straight forward? Would using a Linux OS be preferable to installing Windows on a NUC? I'm not versed in Linux so I acknowledge that I would be on a steep learning curve here.

Just a couple of queries on a NUC/small PC setup: For instance, whilst at the moment I'm somewhat undecided, I may wish to use the NUC as a Roon Core device and music file server (the NUC would give me such an option, a NAS wouldn't). Unlike an actual NAS, my thinking here is that the NUC is versatile enough to be used for other functions too.

Use an Intel NUC or other small PC to function as a NAS.Turning a Raspberry Pi into a cheap NAS drive to serve music - is this possible? My thinking here is that the cost would be so low (compared to a standard NAS) so as to make the solution attractive and other functions (like Roon Core) can be undertaken on my Windows laptop.I actually already have this solution up and running but I would be interested in your thoughts as there may be glaring issues which are not apparent to me.

Simply installing specialist audio UPNP server software (MinimServer, Asset, other suggestions welcome) on the Windows laptop and stream to PiCorePlayer.This one is a crude solution - but it's simplicity will surely work without hitch? Simply sharing a networked music folder on my Windows 10 laptop (keeping the machine from sleeping to prevent disconnection and far away enough to mitigate fan noise).I have the following solutions which go from very crude to somewhat more sophisticated - I would appreciate some thoughts on them. Why? Well I have some experience with NASs and I feel that they are essentially very underpowered units which take up space and have very limited versatility (unless, of course, you are prepared to spend mega-bucks for a powerful model - and I'm not). I am looking into solutions for setting up a server for local music files but here's the thing: I don't want to consider a NAS drive. Hi all - I've posted this on the hi-fi forum but thought it might be sensible to cast the net a little wider and post here too.
