The look and feel of Big Sur is like a breath of fresh air. It definitely feels related to iPadOS with the colors and buttons that seem destined for a touchscreen but as somebody who uses multiple Apple devices it was comforting rather than annoying.
There are ongoing issues with Apple locking down potential security problems and this makes some people unhappy. Carbon Copy Cloner didn't work with creating a bootable backup for a couple of months. Most people are happier with the increased security.
- Y-bar 6y agoI can't get over the modal dialogue/alert boxes with centered text though. Doesn't look right. It works ok on smaller screens, but not large ones.
- saagarjha 6y agoIt doesn't really work well on small screens, either.
- gardaani 6y agoThe look of Big Sur could be better. Rounded text fields look exactly like buttons in the light mode, which is bad. They differ slightly in the dark mode, which is great because I'll be using the dark mode. Also, I don't like how the buttons in the toolbar don't have any borders and have an annoying delayed hover background color effect. Otherwise, the UI is quite usable.
- alwillis 6y agoCarbon Copy Cloner 5.1.23-b1 is available as a universal app and can make bootable backups on Big Sur as well: https://bombich.com/blog/2020/11/03/yes-you-can-have-bootable-backups-on-macos-big-sur https://bombich.com/blog/2020/11/03/yes-you-can-have-bootabl...
- r00fus 6y ago> It definitely feels related to iPadOS with the colors and buttons that seem destined for a touchscreen I wonder when a touchscreen mac will be ushered in by Apple. My kids always smudge up my laptop screen attempting to avoid the trackpad.
- floatingatoll 6y agoApple is rumored to have fixed the ASR issues blocking bootable backups in the very last release candidate, though I don’t have a solid confirmation of that yet.
