So I have a MacBook Pro and I installed macOS 11 Public Beta a few hours after it was released (since I was sleeping when it was released), and here's my experience with it.
What I like about macOS 11
MacOS Big Sur (11) looks pretty dope tbh. Apple finally got rid of the old design from macOS Yosemite and replaced it with an iOS-like design which looks amazing (for me at least). It isn't too buggy and I don't have any plans on downgrading back to Catalina.
The things I like most about macOS Big Sur is the desktop - the more translucent menu bar and dock look amazing compared to macOS Catalina. I also love the new icons for the apps - they have a modern feel to them with the rounded square shape and the gradient background.
What I dislike (or kind of dislike)
There's this bug where there's a small rectangle on some apps the size of the URL input bar on Chrome. Please apple, fix this bug. It's been happening with apps that can have whatever that top part of the app is called hidden (especially third party apps). Even though it doesn't really distract me from using certain apps, I still want this fixed by the next beta or the stable release.
Other than that, the old icon from Catalina for the internal hard drive looks better - the new one looks like they got it off from Leopard. I can live with the back button not being added to the control centre, but it would be really nice if that was added.
Overall, macOS 11 is pretty cool, but it also has its cons that I can live with, but would like to be fixed.
