Hello @andreas85 ,
thank you for your feedback.
I think you are right, there is much information about btrfs and snapper in the forum!
But unfortunately there is no fitting step by step tutorial (beginning at installation and ending at a functional “rollback”) to setup a system which is able to rollback through the cli or through a booted snapshot through grub, like opensuse.
But there are many tutorials to setup a system which is able to rollback through a live iso! But that is not the goal of my project!
At the moment I think the problem why my setup is not working is somewhere in my fstab… because after i fire the rollback command grub is not booting the right readwrite snapshot, but boot the root subvolume which is not changing.
Nick explains this phenomenon here:
For now I unfortunately have not enough spare time to find the right subvolume layout or to find out how to configure grub to boot the default subvolume (snapshot). Maybe in future I come back to snapper if it is better integrated in Manjaro.

Thank you for your informations!
I did not know that timeshift is working out of the box with btrfs!
I tried today a setup with timeshift and there I have nothing to do that rollbacks work as desired!
So at the moment I will go with timeshift and btrfs.
Unfortunately timeshift has no feature to compare snapshots (snapper diff…) and no feature to make different intervals for snapping / and /home. I think I will miss this features… but maybe the snapper integration will be more comfortable in future and I will come back then to snapper.
Thank you for your time!
