Hello,
Is there any way to have the BTRFS snapshots show in grub in their own menu? Mine just fill up the main grub menu “like extra kernels” I would like an option like boot to read only snapshot option that goes to another menu that shows nothing but the snapshots. If I remember correctly this is how Leap does it.
What bootloader are you using?
I suppose it will be grub2-bls.
And I understand the question, the new layout is quite ugly. (but it might be a matter of taste)
Yes, grub2bls does not support submenus. Neither does systemd-boot to my best knowledge. It is not something inherently impossible, as usual it is the question of someone implementing it and convincing developers that it is a need-to-have feature.
Maybe I misunderstand the suggestion (?). I ask because I used to use TW, but that was over a year ago, but switched to Leap 15.6 and 16 now.
I thought TW offered the suggestion as default, such as the two screenshots shown below (it is possible I misunderstand):
The top level GRUB menu - see third option highlighted

The follow-up GRUB sub-menu showing only the snapshots:

@myswtest you are confused 
The default for Tumbleweed is now grub-bls, your referring to grub-efi…
It gives a flat file list of the current boot and snapshots, likewise when you press ‘e’ to edit the kernel options it pops up a bottom row with the ability to add your options direct etc…
