Need help with dual booting Manjaro and MX Linux


Please see attachment.

I want to shrink sda3 which is my /home and then install MX Linux as dual boot.

Q)After shrinking sda3 will I have to edit /etc/fstab of Manjaro with new UUID of the /home (sda3) ?

Shrinking a partition should not change the UUID and it will still be sda3. After you install MX, run the blkid command and it will show the UUID for each partition and sda3 should be the same as it was.
