well, I installed big sur (because I am a masochist) and it really doesn't seem any slower than catalina was, and I'm on a 2015 macbook 12, which is probably the wimpiest computer that got the update. No bugs so far.

big sur upgrade killed my internet connection and a few other folks i know as well. some sort of background service loving things up somehow... if I reboot with Safari open, it will load the page I was last trying to load before the reboot. Trying to load any other page, or reload that page, will fail. connected to wifi, but same result with wired connection. cant ping gateway, local dns server, anything external. dns lookups fail.

Big sur update went pretty smoothly for me last night. Nothing major broken yet at least, and a couple minor improvements. One being, I used get this weird graphics effect in the notification area and the menu bar area when switching spaces. That's gone. Not a big deal at all but it bugged the hell out of me. Not 100% sold on the UI/X changes - some I like some I don't but eh, again not a major deal. At least Adobe CC now seems to respect the OS dialogues.

No red badge! I think I'm running an older version though.

I looked back a few pages but this hadn't been asked yet: I partitioned my Macbook to try the Big Sur beta. Before I upgrade my main Catalina partition, I want to remove the beta. I've booted into Big Sur and unenrolled my MBA. Can I just delete the BigSurData partition from (Catalina) Disk Utility now? Are there any other steps to take? I'm not going to upgrade the Catalina install yet, at least not for a little while.

Tried to install Big Sur on my 2013 15” pro. The installation threw up an error but on restart it started the install and seems to have worked fine. Looks nice so far, indexing was fairly quick

Is there any way to just make the menu bar higher contrast/opaque and not anything else? It really is kind of illegible to my old eyes with certain desktop backgrounds. I know there is the "Reduce Transparency" option in Accessibility but I don't need to reduce transparency everywhere, just for the menu bar.

I have a powerful Intel MBP and I just found out how cheap Windows 10 Pro is. Is there a good guide for setting up Bootcamp so I can play Steam games? I have a fair amount of old games from various sales years ago (id collection, Valve collection, etc) and I figured I might as well actually play them since it looks like it's a lot cheaper than I realized to get Windows going and this will be the last machine I have that will be capable. Currently running Big Sur.

All good so far I actually really like how the drag targets are much bigger now since the toolbars are taller. Some things, like the Safari toolbar, feel a little too desaturated but they feel more functional.

You guys are making me feel weird - usually by now, someone would have found a bug that formats their hard drive when they open Numbers with the mouse on the left side of their keyboard or something. I can't believe I'm asking this, but should I actually upgrade to an initial build of a macOS release?

I like the new look, though there's some weirdness with UI elements not rendering that might be due to running it in a VM. I'll definitely upgrade to it when I get around to OpenCore-ing my cMP.

I am still getting errors trying to update to Big Sur. “The requested version of macOS is not available”. Have there been any fixes for this? It finally worked on one of my computers on launch day so I figured it was all fixed. Tried to update another today and it is still giving the error.

Safari feels much more smoother and responsive in Big Sur than in Catalina. I had performance problems with Safari when on Catalina so I ended up using Chrome for most of Catalina. Feels good to be back on Safari due to the significantly better battery life when browsing.
