grub btrfs and snapper 11 May 2022, 15:51:02 Hi all,I'm new to Artix, and quite new to Arch. I've been a long-time user of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and one thing I like is their snapper, which makes me feel a fair amount safer with a rolling distribution.I installed artix on btrfs and installed snapper. For now I'm making snapshots by hand. Before I look into pacman hooks, I'd like to be able to boot from a snapshot. I tried to install grub-btrfs but doesn't seem to be available.How do I get grub to understand btrfs snapshots?Thanks!

The manual says: "If using GRUB you can automatically populate your boot menu with btrfs snapshots when regenerating the configuration file with the help of grub-btrfs or grub-btrfs-gitAUR."My limited understanding of pacman made me try: pacman -Ss grub-btrfs, which returns nothing. What now? Even just pointing me at a specific section of the wiki would probably help me a little more. Thanks again!
