Hi there, I recently updated my 16' MacBook Pro to macOS Big Sur 11.1 . My display, connected via USB-C is a LG 34WN80C-B. Now that I'm on 11.1, the display simply seems unable to do 60hz. I'm also getting a complaint from the monitor about not using the supplied cables (which I am.) As a note, I also have a brand new M1 MacBook Air on 11.0.1 and it's working at 60hz, no issues. I welcome ideas.
Got a tip for us?

Onyx restarts your machine AFTER it completes its tasks, not before.
As I mentioned above, one needs to do as much disk cleanup on their own, along with using tools like Onyx and Tech Tool Pro. Bit alas, a lot of folks are just too lazy to do disk cleanup on their own. I'll go back to the car analogy: folks do not want to take the time, nor make the effort, to clean their automobiles. Instead, they take it to a car wash to have it done. Not only a waste of money, along with a lack of exercise, the brushes they use at such places can harm your paint job.
And a similar analogy is cleaning one's residence. Again, some folks (not sure how many) elect to do very little, if any, house cleaning. Instead, they hire a cleaning service. Again, a waste of money.
Just updated from Catalina a couple days ago...what happened to things like Calendar alerts (that would pop-up upper right of screen until dismissed)? I mean, alerts show in Notification Center, but no pop-up alert anymore. What good is an alert if I have to open up Notification Center to see it? Lack of pop-up alerts is a bummer.
These are my Calendar notification settings:

I am in the same camp as GGJstudios on Post 1093
FWIW - there are some really good tools in the "About this Mac" Apple menu for finding large files, duplicates, and reducing "clutter" - been there for a while (since Mojave and probably before - can't remember when it was added)
I think utilities like Disk Warrior and TTP, Onyx have become obsolete - IMHO
If I am going to "Clean My Mac" and save 50 gig of space (for example) - I want to know what is being deleted without spending hours sorting through reports and files and tweaking this and that - the tools in "About this Mac" are "straight forward" and easy to use and let you decide what to delete 👍
In light mode windows have a very fine dark line around the whole window. So in dark mode there is a very fine white line. The fine surrounding lines help to differentiate overlapping windows. I think it is a deliberate and desirable design element.
On my wife's laptop(Macbook Pro 13 Late 2014) when running Safari 14 within BigSur 11.1 she is experiencing constant "blue balling" when selecting for example the Reading List. Activity Monitor shows Safari using over 96% CPU.
I am really taking the heat for this, its' my fault for updating from Catalina 10.15.7 for her. She was upset that youtube videos kept yielding errors within the Catalina context. Since I was having such good experince with Big Sur, I figured it was time to bring her machine upto date with BigSur 11.1 as she was using Safari 14 on Catalina.
Well that didn't end well, I am wondering what is driving this lagginess on the Safari 14. If anyone on this forum thread has clue I am open to suggestions as were to begin looking to fix this from my end.
Or do I have to wait for Apple fix it? 🤔

Have you tried any other browsers? Why insist on using Safari? I've never had issues playing YouTube videos with Brave.
Well, she is not real tech literate, she'll refer the internet as "my site". She also fails often to differentiate what program context is currently in focus, Mail or Safari makes no difference to her they are all the same thing to her. So, yeah a different browser might satisfy you and I, but that would instill some degree of trauma for her I'm afraid. I'll give Firefox a shot anyway, nothing to lose I guess.
I am a fan of FireFox (ver 84.0) and have it working on Big Sur 11.2 with no issues (YouTube) included - but ...
Big Sur 11.2 / Safari also seems to work fine = no stalling - loading fine - etc. (BTW I use Firefox Sync for iOS and other Macs to sync logins and passwords)
Has she tried logging in/ out with her YouTube account ID? Maybe that could help? just throwing that out - not sure it will help.
Using a different browser is just like using a different brand vacuum cleaner, or driving a similar automobile to one that one has now.
Actually, Firefox is impressing more and more (used to use it exclusively a few years ago). But Brave is very fast, with no issues. And brave does work flawlessly with Big Sur (using V11.1).
The 11.2 update makes the Music app run so much smoother if anyone was having trouble with that. Still having a lot of monitor issues tho :/
Macbook Air M1 on 11.2 -- two-finger swipe to go back in Safari not working. Not working in Tweetbot either. Anyone else experiencing this?
Nevermind -- this got turned off in trackpad settings. Weird.

So yay or nay on Big Sur now? I'm on Mojave but would like to access Apple Arcade. I just don't want to mess around with major bugs on the OS as Mojave has been rock solid for me.
For myself, and via a clean, fresh installation of V11.1 of Big Sur (onto an external SSD) it is working well. But wonder why you want to skip Catalina? It is definitely a mature, solid OS.
I have read few positive reviews of Catalina - many suggesting to skip it completely.
In terms of bugs and/or something not working, I would put them in this order (from best to worst):
Latest version of Catalina (10.15.7)
Early version of BS (11.1)
Early versions of Catalina (10.15.4 and earlier).
But you have to make your own choice with your own criteria, e.g. features (you either want or don't want), app compatibility, bugs, etc.
Yeah, the latest version of Catalina is, so far, the best. Definitely rock solid, and stable. But I am having no issues at all with V11.1 of Big Sur. However, V10.15.5 of Catalina was a disaster, as it created havoc for SuperDuper! and Carbon Copy Cloner. Fortunately, the issue was fixed in V10.15.6.
I was skeptical with Onyx, but I have used it now. It seems my system is now a bit smoother than before.
But not sure why my sleep option in the apple menu is now grayed out.

Problem resolved. Cleaned out the Reading List. She had links going back to late 2015, some what north 2000 links. I then 'instructed' her that the Reading List is not exactly the same as bookmarks, similar but not interchangeable; more of temporary bookmark.
Well, her browsing experience with Safari 14 at Big Sur has now been buttery smooth, much joy!
Cool! Onyx has been around for a number of years, and has always been a solid performer. Myself, I've been using it for a long, long time, and would not be without it. I run it once a week on both of my Macs, along with Tech Tool Pro. Along with my own cleaning efforts, they help to keep my machines "lean, mean, and clean".

It's not a bug, it's a design decision. Also I'm not seeing the gap when maximising windows:
People have so gotten used to subpar dark mode implementations so much (e. g. Windows, GTK), seeing a proper implementation is weird for them I guess.
