Does the notice regarding Linux Roon Cores relate to those of us running Roon Core on their Synology NAS?

It appears that this notice would require action for Synology users, I do not believe the necessary libraries are in the base install of DSM - nor am I aware that it’s an easy package install to resolve the issue. Roon should issue guidance here.
I have seen this notice for Linux users from Roon and whereas I appreciate the heads up and improvements, I have no idea in any practical way as to what to do. I am not a DIY person…

I can read all the words, but meaning, there is none… Help…
I feel a learning curve is coming on…
The beta testing should also included those that run their Roon core on a NAS, either Synology or QNAP. At least for Synology, this is a proprietary OS built on a Linux kernel.
For QNAP devices, my guess is that the libicu66 library will need to be bundled with the QNAP package.
Failing that, Roon server will run in a VM or container.
Agreed, however up to this point many have avoided the added overhead and complexity of spinning up a VM for Roon. If this is indeed required for all Synology installs of Roon - guidance should be given as there will be many users that will need to migrate. This is added in complexity as the best operation mode for DSM 7 is still being determined.
Hi all, here’s what you need to do if you’re running Roon on NAS (and I’ll make sure to add this to the original post).
Synology
No action required
QNAP
@crieke has already updated the Roon QNAP package and it should be available in the QNAP store soon. Once it’s available, all you need to do is take the update.
Asustor
Make sure you’re updated to ADM 4.0+
