Hey, sorry for that question, could not find it anywhere.
Is there a possibility to set the grid view for every user by default?

The only way i found was to edit ../bookstack/resources/views/books/index.blade.php and change the logic.

Not currently but it will be very simple to make this configurable via the .env file. Will update title to make this actionable and mark for next release.

As of v0.20 this will be possible by setting the below in your .env file:

APP_VIEWS_BOOKS=grid

@rnsvarsitybball You should have a .env file on the main folder where your BookStack files are stored. You would have had to edit this to get BookStack running. Depending on how you are accessing files, You may have to show hidden files.
