Mmm, maybe I did something wrong. Anyway, what I tried was to hold-click the green button on the Activity Monitor window. I will try later.
Nope...

Step 1: Hold green button on app that CAN go fullscreen
Step 2: Select app that CANT go fullscreen to be the split view app
Step 3: Take original app out of fullscreen
Step 4: You now have any app running fullscreen regardless of whether or not it has the functionality built in.

I'll just wait for the final release of El Capitan. The Last time I tried a beta os (yosemite) it screwed up my apple id.

Indeed, though having an app that wasn't designed to run fullscreen running fullscreen is not very useful, at least for those examples I just tested.
 
Yes. From what I can tell, any app that supports fullscreen supports Split View, but I have very few third party apps installed to test this with.

Thank you so much for that answer! I had a bit fear that it would only work with some apps, but that are good news!
 
Can you ungroup notifications as well, like on iOS 9? Is there a single toggle to disable all notifications from a specific app, like on iOS 8? Can you show a picture of the notifications panel in system prefs?

Yes, you can ungroup notifications (and have them in a common list sorted by date). There is no single toggle to turn it off, that part of the preference pane has not changed. I'd upload a picture, but El Capitan's Safari says "Plugin Failure" when I press the Upload a File button here :)
 
How is the El Capitan performance on base Mac mini 2014 (1,4ghz, 4GB RAM)? I was planning on buying one, but I changed my mind when I heard that Yosemite runs slowly on it. I would only use it for basic tasks, and if El Capitan runs smoothly, I might buy it..

If it uses HD instead of SSD it will be slower, apple killed the hdd

You should see comparatively better performance with El Capitan versus Yosemite -- this is a safe enough bet. However, compared to whatever current OS you have, I cannot say. I'd think that since Intel HD 5000 graphics should support Metal you would see smoother UI animations at least.

Here's a bigger thread about Metal requirements.

Yes, it's one of the options listed when you right-click. However, I never checked before I upgraded so maybe it's on Yosemite too.

I never understood why they didn't introduce "rename" in the context menu at the same time as they introduced rename for a batch of files…

Nope.
It never did?

Not sure if this is specifically new to 10.11, but the default Apple icon in Contacts seems to have changed from an apple to a cityscape.

Haven't read the whole thread. Just the OP. Not sure if this has been said, but my favorite little feature is that Safari now has a checkbox when you get more than 2 alerts from a page to stop sending alerts from that webpage.
Stops those annoying ransomware popups that force you to restart your browser.

Wow, I'm actually surprised that Safari hasn't gotten that feature until now. Firefox/Chrome have had it for a while.

That's not new. If you create a contact and check the Company checkbox, the default placeholder silhouette changes from a person to a cityscape. It simply means there's no picture set to the contact. This screenshot is from 10.9.5:

Actually just apps that are resizable can go fullscreen in that way, even if they lack the fullscreen button.

Wow, equally surprised that nobody had noticed this yet and that Safari is so late at adopting the feature. Nice to see people are still finding things. I'm sure this thread will be more lively when DP2 comes out tomorrow, though.
