Warning if you want to switch from developer beta to public beta: it wants to download the full 12.3 GB file.
I saw this after installing developer beta 4 (3.67 GB), which installed relatively easily. Beta 3 required me to create a flash drive as well as clear off 52 GB of space. Which is not so easy if you buy small built-in SSD from Apple.
Also, booting off a flash drive requires you to run System Security Utility so you can boot off an external drive instead of the T2-controlled internal SSD.
I've been extremely happy with the look and feel of Big Sur and the only program that I'm having compatibility issues with is Google Backup and Sync. Other programs - Firefox, Carbon Copy Cloner, Dropbox, HomeBrew - are being updated fast enough that there was an issue with Beta 1 for a couple of days or not any issues at all.
