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.

Honestly I just use SMB with Samba now it's very fast and secure with the v3 protocol, It gets more complicated if you need AD/LDAP auth but most people don't especially on a home network.
NFS is too much of a pain in the ass. I would not use sshfs unless you need to connect over the Internet and a VPN isn't an option available to you.
Other options like SFTP, DAV, emulating S3 aren't really aiming to fill the same use cases SMB does.
