Can I change the OS on a QNAP? (alien.top)

I’m quite new to this, so apologies if this is a stupid question. I recently got a QNAP TS-459 Pro+ secondhand, and it’s no longer supported softwarewise by QNAP. That makes it incompatible with a lot of modern software. Is there any way to either forcibly update the OS or change it out entirely? I’d love to actually be able to control the machine I own

I have a QNAP-TS453D and tried TrueNAS and Unraid on it from USB, both work fine.
