  As others have commented, stick with the Mac.
  I recommend installing proxmox on it and run the apps you want. You can run pihole in a VM.
  Do you need a NAS? Not really, but if you have cash available maybe get a used tower, use the disks you have and install TrueNAS. And this will only cost you max €200

  www.alpinelinux.org/about/ Check out Alpine. Might just be enough for what you want

  Do you have desktop or laptop?
  For desktop, I recommend getting an HDD for storage. They’re cheaper, I bought a 4tb Seagate Ironwolf for less than 100€.
  I also have a 1tb nvme, where I store things that require fast reads like my gaming collection while the system is installed in an SSD. (The parts were not bought at the same time). For laptop, you might want to stick to what you have inside and just get a good external USB. The usual brands are still good and I think prices have flatten across the industry.
