Well, I just found a guide on how to install twrp 3.2.3 on a Samsung Galaxy Star here, which has the model number SM-J337T. It has the exact same SoC, CPU and GPU as my device. The guide has a link to an unnoficial twrp recovery.img image. Would it be safe for me to use that for my SM-J337W?
PS. What does the T and W mean in the device model number?
Mee too. Already switched to Gentoo. I also plan on setting up my own NAS.
Natively or in a VM?
Well, that's how most troubleshooting happens on Windows/macOS as they are just big black boxes with poor documentation. On Linux, most issues can be fixed by the user themselves.

I use rclone. The command I use to mount my GDrive is basically:
rclone mount "GoogleDrive:" ~/googledrive --vfs-cache-mode full --daemon
And then I could access it (almost) as if were a regular USB drive mounted onto my filesystem (by doing cd ~/googledrive). Only difference is that it is a bit slow, as none of the files ever get synced to the computer's hard drive (all changes are immediately uploaded to Google servers), and I cannot change the filesystem permissions (they are always a+rw for all of the files).
Well, they say that development for these phones is mostly dead.
Also, I do think that getting a virus by simply downloading Android ROMs from some unknown source (or an open source project maintained only by 1 person) would be quite easy. Not to mention that xz-utils, an open-source project was recently backdoor-ed.
