I will do a clean install first. I joined the beta program couple years ago.

I have 2014 mac mini 2.6 8gb ram. Thank god 2014 is supported. Might be last upgrade but for now its supported. High sierra 10.13 boots in 50 seconds from 1tb spinner non ssd.

I got a used lacie rugged thunderbolt from ebay and a used samsung evo 860 ssd. Catalina boots off that in 20 seconds from power button press to password screen. Not bad.

How about every one else. Does it feel snappier? Is it faster or slower than catalina or previous systems? Is it taking longer to boot or quicker for you? I am only using web, email, etc basic stuff. No video of photo editing.
