If you want to get the lastest version, just install/upgrade to 4.1rc3.
This version is already working for most of the things and I'm sure, it
will work for your daily things also. I wouldn't bother with 4.0.4 any more
at this point of stage.

<br>The third release candidate for Qubes 4.1 is here! There are no major
<br>changes to report. We've just focused on fixing bugs that were
<br>discovered and reported in the second release candidate.
<br>
<br>If you're currently using any Qubes 4.1 release candidate, a regular
<br>update [01] is sufficient to upgrade to the latest one. Otherwise,
<br>read on for more about how to get started with testing Qubes 4.1-rc3.
<br>
<br>
<br>What's new in Qubes 4.1?
<br>------------------------
<br>
<br>In case you still haven't heard, Qubes 4.1 includes several major new
<br>features, each of which is explained in depth in its own article:
<br>
<br>- Qubes Architecture Next Steps: The GUI Domain [02]
<br>- Qubes Architecture Next Steps: The New Qrexec Policy System [03]
<br>- New Gentoo templates and maintenance infrastructure [04]
<br>- Reproducible builds for Debian: a big step forward [05]
<br>
<br>There are also numerous other improvements and bug fixes listed in
<br>the release notes [06] and in the issue tracker [07].
<br>
<br>Finally, Qubes 4.1 features the following updated default components:
<br>
<br>- Xen 4.14
<br>- Fedora 32 in dom0
<br>- Fedora 34 template
<br>- Debian 11 template
<br>- Whonix 16 Gateway and Workstation templates
<br>- Linux kernel 5.10
<br>
<br>
<br>How to test Qubes 4.1-rc3
<br>-------------------------
<br>
<br>If you're willing to test [08] this release candidate, you can help to
<br>improve the stable release by reporting any bugs you encounter [09].
<br>Experienced users are strongly encouraged to join the testing team [10]!
<br>
<br>How to migrate to 4.1-rc3:
<br>
<br>- If you're already on any 4.1 release candidate, simply perform a
<br> normal update [01].
<br>- If you're not on a 4.1 release candidate yet, you have two options:
<br> 1. Back up [11] your current installation, download [12] 4.1-rc3,
<br> perform a fresh install [13], then restore [14] from your backup.
<br> 2. Perform an in-place upgrade [15].
<br>
<br>
<br>Release candidate planning
<br>--------------------------
<br>
<br>With each new release candidate, Qubes 4.1 becomes more and more stable
<br>as our testers report more bugs, and our developers fix them. As
<br>explained in our general release schedule [16], this cycle will continue
<br>until no major bugs are discovered, at which point the last release
<br>candidate will be declared the stable 4.1 release. Until then, we plan
<br>to have new release candidates approximately every five weeks.
