Why is my Big Sur volume read-only in the latest beta?
I have the latest Big Sur 11.0 Beta (20A5395g) installed on an external NVMe with nothing but Big Sur on it. When booting into it, the Big Sur volume/container that is exposed in Finder is read-only, and there is no Big Sur Data container, as is shown in Disk Utility. I think I remember that in prior betas the exposed Big Sur volume was the read-write Data container, and not the read-only System container. As it appears right now, I can't write anything to Big Sur. I should add that the internal NVMe of my MBP 2018 contains Catalina, and the Catalina Data container is also shown in Disk Utility, but not in Finder. Finder only shows Catalina which is read-write (so it's really Catalina Data), so it is doing for Catalina what I would it expect to do for Big Sur (showing Big Sur Data as Big Sur in Finder). What am I misunderstanding, or what can I do to

Empty DynamicData directory in Big Sur
On a Big Sur host bound to Active Directory, I am seeing some hosts with an empty /Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/DynamicData directory. Output of dsconfigad -show seems to be good and consistent with other hosts that have data inside the DynamicData directory. The directory at /Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/Configurations is never empty for any host and data looks okay. I am not able to reproduce this on a local Big Sur host I have that is also bound to Active Directory using Directory Utility. My question is: Are there scenarios in which the DynamicData directory would be empty?

A bug in the menu bar of Big Sur?
My app display an icon on the menu bar, and the icon source file is white. I want the icon color to follow the menu bar background color, so I set the template property of NSImageview.image to YES, like this: NSImageView *logo = [[NSImageView alloc] init]; logo.image = [[NSBundle mainBundle]; imageForResource:@LOGO_16_white]; [logo.image setTemplate:YES]; In most Big Sur and below macOS11, the icon color changes with the menu bar background color, If the menu bar has a light background, the icon color is black, If the menu bar has a dark background, the icon color is white. But on a few MacBooks, the icon color is always gray and does not change. So is this a bug of Big Sur? What should I do ? Thanks!

Installing Big Sur on External drive
Is there a trick to successfully installing macOS Big Sur on an ext. drive and the drive not getting corrupted when switching back to Catalina on the internal drive? I understand the issue (64411484), about being on the same APFS container, but don't the internal and external drives each have their own container? Everything is fine until I try to switch over to Catalina, either on a T2 Mac or a non-T2 Mac. Then the entire Big Sur volume is corrupted. Are there more explicit install instructions available from Apple given the known bugs? I would really like to be able to have a stable setup that isn't corrupted each time I need to switch back to Catalina. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

Big sur broke my iMac
So I have an iMac 2014. In download big sur and it faults. I’ve tried ctrl r and ctrl p&r and I have managed to almost download 3 times. Every time on the apple screen it stops for hours or overnight. It will not download and restart. I’m now stuck with the apple start screen. Computer bust! I know it’s old but how can apple get away with breaking people’s computers like this, it’s all over the internet so I’m not alone! What is the solution, buy a new one?!!
