TL;DR

Every set of changes to the underlying system is executed on a new inactive snapshot, which will be the one the system will boot into on the next reboot.

# Upgrade the system.
sudo transactional-update dup
pkcon update

# Install a package.
sudo transactional-update pkg install 'tlp' 'ntfs-3g' 'fuse-exfat' 'nano'
pkcon install gnu_parallel

# Get a shell on the next snapshot.
# Lets you use zypper.
sudo transactional-update shell
sudo tukit execute bash
