The most popular choice here is by far any flavour of Linux. BSD is sometimes considered better. Using MacOS will earn you derision from Linux and Windows sysadmins alike. Don't use Windows.

RancherOS
Mostly for advanced docker and kubernetes applications. Not going to cover it here, just know it exists as an option if you want to go full on dockerfag.
NAS Centric
NAS-centric operating system for a home server. Software designed for retards, with simple GUIs to set up your services.
Open Media Vault
Xpenology
A free version of the OS Synology uses for their NAS products. Obviously you won't get any support from Synology if you use this.
Supports differently sized physical disks and adding hard drives to expand as needed.
unRAID
TrueNAS CORE
TrueNAS Scale
In development Debian-based version of TrueNas. Boasts new features like KVM, native docker, and more.
