The collection of commands that I will use, and may be useful to whoever needs.

#GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
 
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Data partition

Yes, I can seperate my /home partition for media, but I need an seamless and simplest way to keep my medias automatically available in both my Windows and Linux. This is just works™️.

I use /data as the mount point.

paru -S ntfs-3g
 
# Check desired partition UUID
lsblk -f
 
sudo nvim /etc/fstab
 
# Add this line at the bottom of file
UUID=1A2B3C4D5E6F /data ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022 0 0
 
sudo mount -a
