Butterbian XFCE 0.4.0 is out. The snapshot-first foundation hasn’t changed — btrfs subvolumes laid out for you, a Timeshift snapshot before every apt operation, rollback from the GRUB menu. What changed is everything you look at.
Fair warning: this release is almost entirely about the desktop. If 0.3.3 is working for you and you don’t care what it looks like, you’re not missing any plumbing.
