But the Apple System Status panel does indicate an “issue” and is marked yellow. Apple has not yet announced a solution for Big Sur failed install. Big Sur download still not working, at least for me on a MacBook Pro. UPDATE 3:40pm PT: Apple System Status has marked this issue as resolved (green). Again, I’m definitely not here to complain… though I do wish I didn’t have to use-up unnecessary (capped) internet bandwidth to repeatedly download the same file. After re-trying throughout the afternoon, Apple finally got it right and the Big Sur download finally worked on my MacBook Pro. UPDATE: 6:01pm PT: All’s well that ends well. A bit of a rocky start, but things are settling down. As for the Big Sur OS itself, I’m loving the updated look and typography and design (see Engadget Big Sur review).
I’m running the 11.1 Beta which is rock solid. As for the Chrome crashing, Big Sur 11.1 seems to fix it. I learned that likely has to do with Spotlight re-indexing the system for search which completes within 24-hours or so. UPDATE : Turns out Big Sur resulted in extreme battery drain and also frequent crashing of Chrome, at least on my MacBook Pro (2016). Big Sur Beta Version 11.2 is most recent.
But for personal use I’d say give it a go (backup your data first please!). Obviously big caveat: this OS release is still in beta, and I wouldn’t run it on a production or mission critical MacBook. UPDATE : So far the new Big Sur Beta releases from Apple have been excellent in my experience.
