Do any of the Nashville folks recommend a computer guy?

Background: a few weeks ago my Synology NAS went sideways on me: both disks (a RAID 1 array) showed as healthy, but the DSM operating system stopped working. There wasn't a Synology fix that would preserve the data, but Reddit said, "it's a Linux file system, just throw the disk in a Linux environment and you can copy the data off."

Well, long story short, I don't know nothing about booting no Linux. And having managed to make my PC do that, I still can't make it talk to this drive. I'm to the point of paying someone to extract the data. Is there someone here locally who could do that?
