How to integrate preboot LVM snapshots in Artix?

I want to set a snapshot backup before boot because I noticed that sometimes updates make my PC hang for no apparent reason. I'm sure there is that one package that messes something up because this is Linux and weird stuff happens. Maybe it does on Windows now too, I use Linux since after Windows 7. ))

It would be helpful that after such an update I could revert back and update packages one by one to find out which devil is causing problems. I will keep this after too because I think it's smart to have something like this just in case something breaks. I already had to reinstall my system before because nvidia caused issues with my old 970...

Using encrypted full disk LVM with separate home and boot partitions. Will shrink root when I know what to do to make space for snapshots. Root has too much free space anyway.

Here is a link to archwiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Create_root_filesystem_snapshots_with_LVM

I am using dinit but maybe I will be switching to openrc if that comes into play. Not a linux pro so please be kind, I noticed many answers here to questions are assuming you know linux well. I set up my system and use normal programs so not a pro! )
