SMB in beta 10 still giving error -8084 with large files: same files are transferred without problems in Catalina.
Moreover, SMB is a lot slower than in Catalina, this throws errors when accessing files on smb, such for virtual machines.

Did anyone ever figure out how to get the Apple Watch unlock feature to work with Big Sur? It works on my Air but is not working on my MacBook
The possibility of changing the login screen still does not work. The macOS Big Sur always remains and it does not take a wallpaper that one changes. This I have reported since beta 1.

How does a non-developer get hold of the full installer for beta 10? I was hoping it might clear up my issue with a browser extension.

Cripes: talking about spoilt.
Yesterday my computers were all being a "bit odd", so I whacked the Writer floppy disk into my BBC Master Micro Compact and did some typing, then rebooted the thing into BBC BASIC and did some analysis of phatic statements using a wee program I whipped up in 1987. Worked like a charm: 3 second boot time: no distracting GUI . . .
Nice dot-matrix printer did its stuff as well.
I wish people would stop complaining about the fairy lights on the Christmas tree.

Safari was sometimes quitting instantly when first accessing or sometimes after so much browsing it would quit instantly also. That was with Big Sur betas up to beta 9. It looked like it was related to a graphic driver on my late 2015 iMac using M395X.
Since updating to Big Sur beta 10 I haven't seen this anymore - Fixed.

Based on responses, the latest beta is pretty stable with a few minor issues but nothing huge. Downloading the beta this moment on my macbook, excited to try Big Sur for the first time. Nothing I should worry about if I just use my macbook for web browsing, youtube, netflix, and some occasional xcode right?
I see nothing wrong with using it its very stable. They even enabled the "open in low resolution" with get info against a application that was disabled in prior betas with beta 10.
I see Apple still needs to resolve the fact that Apple's APFS replication utility is still not currently capable of replicating a Big Sur System volume. Carbon Copy Mac makes use of that, have work around. Still things are way closer with this beta 10 IMHO.
From roughly 2 hours of use, it does seem very stable of a beta. Only issue I'm having is scrolling in Safari is not smooth like it was in Catalina. Anyone also having this issue or know how to fix it?
I'm not having that issue, but then again I'm on a 2020 iMac. Have you tried Safari TP and see if there's a difference?
I'll give Safari TP a shot if it doesn't go away. I'm on a 2020 MBP so perhaps it has something to do with the integrated graphics.
Stable, yes. But new bugs being introduced as fast as others are fixed. If it were released tomorrow, I would not install it on my main Mac.
