How to configure manjaro to always show grub menu with grub-btrfs?

For some reaseon I have grub-btrfs instead of grub on my manjaro. I think it is the new default(?)
I want to force it to always show the grub menu.
I think it will only include “manjaro” and “advancad options for manjaro” or something as I am not dual booting.
I can get it to show up by pressing “esc”, but i want it visible every time!

all the tips i found so far seem to not work. e.g. I do not have /etc/default/grub only /etc/default/grub-btrfs which is close enough, but when i try to configure, I think I should change the GRUB prefix to GRUB_BTRFS for all variables, but nothing seems to work. I think this should work:

GRUB_BTRFS_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_BTRFS_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu

i do a sudo update-grub, but after reboot, nothing is changed still no grub menu
I tried many options, but it seems all advice is outdated/only works for dual boot?

If /etc/default/grub is not there, then you deleted it or grub is not installed. Maybe you use systemd-boot? Anyhow… /etc/default/grub-btrfs/config only works in addition to /etc/default/grub and not as standalone.

No, it’s GRUB_TIMEOUT and GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE, not GRUB_BTRFS_TIMEOUT and GRUB_BTRFS_TIMEOUT_STYLE.
