Ok, I don’t get it. Can you explain it to me?
Timeshift works only with BTRFS subvolumes, thus, if you wanna have backups (snapshots), you have to have subvolumes and not install in the root of a BTRFS filesystem 😔.
That's only to backup/rollback the root though, right? If one's looking to backup - say - their home dir, they can just recreate the home as a subvolume without reinstalling the system. Or am I mistaken?
You can definitely do this with a few commands.

Because I often forget to do it I wrote a little helper script.
This file can be run or sourced and only depends on btrfs-progs and fish.
Awww man, thanks ☺️.
Good thing I love fiish, it's my default shell 😉.
