Since this is the first developer beta version of macOS Big Sur, you should expect all kinds of bugs and performance issues with the build. If you don’t have a dedicated Mac for beta-testing macOS, we would advise you to not install it on your main computer. More importantly, you should not install this beta version of macOS on mission-critical Macs.

Apple will release more developer beta versions of macOS in the coming weeks and then release public beta builds before releasing the final version for everyone a few months down the line. Let us know if you plan to install the first developer beta version of macOS Big Sur on your Mac. If you’ve already installed it, let us know how your experience has been in the comments section below.
