Apparently whatever cinnamon did to get nvme0n1p5 mounted to /media/chris/DATA is blocking the suggested workaround. I suggest to use cinnamon partition tool to undo whatever it did, and create a fstab entry that mounts it, e.g.:
sudo mkdir /home/data sudo chmod 770 /home/data sudo chown chris:chris /home/data (next: append to fstab:) LABEL=DATA /home/data ext4 relatime 0 2 (next: reboot) mount | grep nvme0n1p5 (should confirm DATA partition is mounted rw to /home/data) ls -ld /home/data (should produce drwxrwx--- chris chris permissions & ownership, plus access via file manager to /home/data whether logged into cinnamon or tde, if in /etc/group exists chris:x:1000:chrisontde)
