Adding new entries to Grub with alternate kernel parameters
I installed Grub in the normal way and now I have entries in the Grub menu for linux, linux-lts, and the fallback versions of them.

I want to add more entries to this. For example, I want to add `linux-lts nomodeset` that is the same as `linux-lts` but without `nvidia-drm.modeset=1`.

Do I have to manually edit `/boot/grub/grub.cfg` for this? Or is there a more user friendly way? The syntax of `grub.cfg` is bad, and I fear my manual changes will get overwritten by `grub-mkconfig`.
