How do I update on Linux?

Indeed.  That link has the tutorial I first used many moons ago and my go to tutorial for helping new Linux users.  Manually mounting your drives that will always be attached is definitely recommended so that permissions aren't reset and the drive is always available.

I also just noticed that when I go to add a new folder to my library (was just testing it), it's now doing that thing where it'll only find the /media/user/ directory, but not the drives (I thought what I did last night to fix that would be permanent).

So, that URL you linked....it says it would wipe my drives?   Because I have TB of content on them. Why in the world would Linix not auto-see my internal drives like Windows does?

I tried the GUI version of what you linked instead (sudo gnome-disks) and on the one drive of my media, I have:

EDIT: Ok, well I tried this just now, restarted PC. Upon rebooting, it seems the drives were now mounted already on boot, but JF still won't play the media. How do I give it permanent access?
