For me Mojave was the best Mac Os Since Mountain Lion. On an i7 as well. Catalina is ok now, was horrible at launch.
Ineresting that the 11.0.1 beta refers to 3 new Macs (nothing to identify if MacBook, Pro, Air, etc though).
It wasn't showing when I posted, thus I deleted that part of my post just before you posted the reply.
Yepp ... when I started to read about Big Sur in this forum a couple of weeks ago I was a bit upset that people were talking "BS" all over the place ... up until I understood the "real" meaning in this context 🤣

I unenrolled my two Macs in the beta software program yesterday so that I could install the official Big Sur when it becomes final, but even after doing this and a reboot I am getting prompted for the 11.0.1 beta in Software Update. Is this normal?
It just means that the software update check was done before you unenrolled. It’ll nag until you update, well it did for me last year. It will probably go away when you go to 11.0 public release.
I could be wrong, but that’s how it was for me last year.
So, did you updated outside of System Preferences -> Software Update then? Or did the public release replace the beta in Software Update when it was released?
Forgive my ignorance, this is the first time I participated in the beta program. I was getting tired of the eGPU support in Mojave on my 2018 mini (and Catalina did not help in my case).
Actually 11.0.1 is now available as a full installer. Downloading now and will make a bootable usb.
There seems to be a pattern as to when apple release the full installers (at least for the later ones - obviously not the first few). They seem to be waiting for when public beta is available before making the full installer available - even to developers.
Umm, do you even know what the OP was talking about? Two of the three functions (AD integration & Kerberos) that the OP posted about are directly under Apple's responsibilities as they are part of basic O/S functions for Enterprise customers. Apple and Cisco confirmed that the issue is in the Kerberos module in Big Sur and Apple would need to fix it.
Also, you second statement is also incorrect. There are a number of end point protection choices that are either currently in Beta (along with Big Sur) or released that utilize System Extension instead of Kernel Extensions.
Nope. The public release replaced it in system update.
Just installed 11.0.1 PB.
Fun fact: The startup chime of my MBP13 2017 definitely has changed. Sounds kinda refined now. 😅
