Hopefully they fix the music app.

Not sure if I like the new design better than the old one... but still, I enjoy the change!

Apple programming fail of the day: You're playing your favorite music using Apple Music app on your desktop computer running the current MacOS. You visit a website using Safari, Apples browser, and you want to watch a product video of what you want to buy... and you quickly realize you need to pause your Apple music while the video is playing... no problem, right? There is a key for that on your Apple keyboard... it's the Play/Pause/F8 key..... I'll just press that an it will pause my.... I'll just press that and it will pause my Apple Music..... nope... Now some brilliant ass hole at Apple decided that this key operates whichever app your in that can use it. So when you do press that Play/Pause/F8 key, it pauses the video you just opened and the Apple music is still playing. Yes, my friends, this key used to work. Apple is now turning off programming that used to work in favor of..... WHAT NO ONE EVER NEEDED NOR ASKED FOR... so now you have to manually go find Apple Music and either use your mouse to activate the app and choose the play/pause icon in the app or you have to use the pop up menu in the dock and choose pause from there. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT ACTUALLY WORKING. And no, the next software is not going to fix this. The next software Apple will release will break something else. It's been since September of 2013 since Apple broke the iOS lock screen photo code and we can't see our entire photo any more when we set it to our lock screen or desktop photo... they show no signs of fixing that disaster. They keep breaking more and more code. And no Apple fan-boy will admit it. It is really sad.

Why does that battery logo look like penis?

Looks like an old linux distro

looks like they hired bunch of designers from dribbble to do this redesign. way too cartoonish. i miss the old design.

Can you drag widgets onto your desktop screen

I like how he has Catalina in the background 😂

What about siri

It's beautiful, but... I like the Yosemite interface more.

on beta 7 now and still no FireWire anymore.. If they do not bring it back so many people with old pro gear like myself will not be able to run things!

How to get Big Sur setting on my MacBookpro 2019

Any app compatibility issues with Big Bur? Like maybe with bar tender now that you have the control center.

My eyes hurt from looking at this ugly UI.

Bad Sure

Hated the new icons. At least is still easy to change them.

can anyone plz tell how do we install the big sur.

That battery panel is just hideous

i dont think the big sur startup sound sounds like that

Will I be able to download the Netflix app to download movies to my Mac? Or will I have to buy the Apple SoC Macs?

Want to switch to Mac but want to have experience in 10 before jump to 11😭

The best are

New dock and icons
Control center
Grouped notifications
Widgets
iMessage
Safari

Can I use iMessage without having iPhone?

I will miss the launchpad icon

More Ubuntu / Manjaro style either

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro with MacOS El Captain. I am so excited for tomorrow the 10th of Nov, 2020.

great features , terrible design

can i used iphone apps on bigsur?

It looks like something my kids would love... Sadly, this is my production computer, a working tool, not a toy...

I just downloaded big sur on my MacBook last night - and I absolutely HATE IT!!!! Those icons - it all just looks like a kids computer - and I'm no longer a kid. I absolutely hate it!!!!! But unfortunately, I had to upgrade! And that launchpad icon...... 😭😭😭😭😭

I don’t know why I can’t drag and drop the crescent moon for the Do Not Disturb icon - I want to move it to the upper right hand side - instead of the left side that it’s at!!

Update: I finally moved it!!

Is the Big Sur good for musicians who produce music in logic Pro x on a Mac?

Looks like you're using an iPad...

My icons won't move when I drag the cursor across them!!

Nice looking update to the GUI, but why does it still feel like Apple are delaying the unification of macOS & iOS: is there a hardware limitation or is it classic drawing it out because they can? DOI: Mac user for 16 years/iPhone user for 11.

I think some of the icons looks for me to old or something

Lol and to think I was running macOS High Sierra this whole time 🤦🏻‍♂️

I hate the Control Center. Absolutely useless and can't be turned off. Thanks Obama

mac os chime be like:

Dun dunnn

Can you explain why Apple decided not to allow us the end-user the ability to change the log-in screen? Apple/Apple Care are clueless.

I took this from someone online and he’s totally making sense...

People whine and bitch about the most insignificant interface changes such as new icons, relocated buttons, etc. As we speak there's a major ******* happening among Windows users caused by, you guessed it, a new Edge icon....

Three things to keep in mind:
1) beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
2) dissatisfied users are roughly a gazillion times more vocal than satisfied ones
3) everything you read on the internet has to be taken with a grain of salt

I, for one, welcome the change. It's fresh, it's new, and people will get used to it and consider it the greatest thing since sliced bread eventually anyway. Just wait for the next UI overhaul.

Not staying here and bad mouthing all the way... I’m sure 99% of the people who spoke bad about Big Sur here is using it and enjoying it now.

I can’t stand having more than three tabs open at a time

you not shared fully feature...
