Big Sur - Working / Not Working Apps

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
Outlook 365 in both Dark and Light mode some text and form emails as well as UPS notifications not readable. You can copy and past the text to a textpad but cannot highlight and view. I have reported to both MS and Apple Dev.
 
So for me everything below works:
  • Office 365 (Powerpoint with limitations, see below)
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Spotify
  • Hyperdock
  • Alt-Tab
  • Dozer
  • OneDrive
  • Alfred 4
  • Tiles
  • Spectacle
  • Agenda
  • Next meeting
  • Itsycal
I have two problems as of now which are not a deal-breaker, but pretty annoying
  1. In Powerpoint, I cannot switch to a slide by clicking on it. I need to go to the slide overview and open the slide from there
  2. In some apps, the focus is changed to another app (I do not know which one) every few seconds, so that you need to click e.g. into the text box again to keep typing.
 
Geany (nice little smart text editor with IDE for many languages including C/C++, Fortran, LaTeX & Markdown, as well as Markdown Preview plugin) doesn't work.
Opens, crashes, generates error report.

Eclipse IDE does install and work with gfortran, after following the instructions here (scroll down to the bottom to the note about Mountain Lion or later

Edited to add -- Sorry, Markdown Preview doesn't appear in the Mac version of Geany. I was getting confused with the Linux version

Can’t resize or create new main SSD partitions due to previously unseen and undeletable snapshots. So no BootCamp unless you already had a partition. Normal workarounds for deleting TimeMachine local snapshots + disabling external backup is futile.

Code: 
tmutil listlocalsnapshots /                
Snapshots for volume group containing disk /:
com.apple.os.update-190312682FDBFD811EAF7E1DE7AA32CC00611E1594F50D161F143E85BF633A4C
com.apple.os.update-MSUPrepareUpdate

Apparently can’t be thinned, can’t be deleted.
 
IntelliJ IDEA was work well after just upgraded to Big Sur, but crashed after a few days. I did nothing but a time system restart. The lucky thing is I don't really need to use it right now.

This is the one thing that is holding me back from giving it a go. I moved from VMWare Fusion to Parallels earlier this year and can't even consider Big Sur until it can run Parallels.

I run Parallels, and it works fine. A little remapping of a few keys, and I was good to go. My existing Win10 VM runs of my Bootcamp and via Parallels.
 
Steam Games can't be downloaded since Steam doesn't recognize macOS Big Sur as "macOS" thus it doesn't show any of your apps at all.

edit:Works on beta update

Anyone else having trouble importing photos from their iPhone into the Photos app? I have two phones, one on the latest 10.13 and the other running the 10.14 beta - Photos won't import from either.
 
OmniFocus 3 is not working if installed fresh. I am trying to get it to work, it fails. (This is on a new Apple ID).
 
Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that Zotero wasn't working, but it doesn't seem to have been added to the first post. Can anyone confirm the latest Zotero beta (5.0.89-beta.3+419953f47) doesn't work?
