Just stick with OMV, its solid.
Any reason why you want to change from OMV. It’s not perfect but my go to media server.
TrueNAS is probably the most popular one. It's pretty solid but also does a lot of things (like running apps in docker) and you have to get used to some design choices.
I found it too complicated compared to OMV. But it’s a good option.
Didn't they just abandon the FOSS edition recently?
No, but the build system
There's also XPenology - a hacked Synology software to run on non-Synology systems. Awesome when you've got it running, can be somewhat adventurous and/or nerve-wrecking when a major update is due.
