I updated a few days after release (which is not like me, I usually wait about a month). Got a little impatient this time, and I guess the hype got to me too.
Anyway I have had no issues and I really like it. PS: The Mac start up chime is back .. very nostalgic ! The only issue I did have is that SuperDuper backup is dragging it’s feet. I have communicated with them via email and they don’t seem very concerned. Their response was like “ well just be patient or use Time Machine while you wait" It will not yet run with Big Sur. But that’s OK .. I have switched to Carbon Copy Cloner and finding that a more user friendly interface. I only use this for my monthly backup that resides in my safe. My main backup is Time Machine (but just in case everything gets stolen, I always have the safe backup). Mac Mail confused me a little at first because I seemed to have a lot more additional folders than before. And even some missing. But now I have sorted them out all is fine there too.
