Butterbian is a Debian 13 (Trixie) installer built around one idea: your system should be snapshotted before anything breaks it. Most distros leave BTRFS and Timeshift as an exercise for the user. Butterbian does it for you — subvolumes laid out correctly, Timeshift configured, grub-btrfs wired in, so you can roll back from GRUB if it all goes sideways.

Part of the justaguylinux butter* ecosystem — alongside butterscripts, butternotes, buttertodo, and butterbash. butterrepo is available as a companion APT repository, providing Ghostty, Neovim, rofi 2.0, Zen Browser, and more.
