From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have you considered/tried streaming games from your primary desktop PC? Obviously very dependent on your situation's specifics, but that's one of the things I do with the Linux htpc I have set up.
And then you wouldn't have to worry about games and NAS stuff competing for system resources.
I'd personally go the hypervisor route (I'm using proxmox, truenas, and an *arr stack on my NAS). It keeps things compartmentalized (especially network configurations) and usually keeps me from breaking everything at the same time.
