Anyone get to it yet? Seems like a rather un-intimidating beta this year. Any first impressions on general relibality? (besides whats in the release notes)
I have 2007 MBP 15" I'll load it on. If there is ever a good preformance stress test, it's on old hardare. (also itching to try iOS 9 on my iPad 2)
Works quite good, Safari is (very) short flashing black when refreshing the current page and some other cosmetic issues. Some applications don't work, e.h. nearly all mail plugins (devonthink works).
It's been a rather smooth experience for me. So far only Little Snitch broke on me. Oh, and I haven't been able to open the iCloud pane of System Preferences since I changed my iCloud password.
On my MacPro I have some few issues.
Razer Synapse does not show any connection Razer device like my keyboard or my mouse.
Chrome WebGL is falling back to software rendering which causes some websites to become very slowly and flickery when scrolling.
Git-Tower is always crashing when opening a Git repository.
Had 2 Kernel Paniks when my Mac is set to sleep - Power Nap is disabled already (hope that fixes the Issue now)
LG TrueColor app for my 21:9 display says it couldnt find USB connection (I guess the same issue like with Razer Synapse)
StarCraft2 shows a pesky issue with this cursor zoom effect when shaking the mouse cursor. Still an issue How to disable 'Call out your cursor'?
Dropbox-experimental does not start at launch.
Box does crash and causes a dialog to show up, asking to terminate Box synchronisation.
Memory Monitor does not start all.
Typing my password to allow installations of tools is very troublesom. When I type as fast as usual then OSX does stop recognizing my typings at 3rd or 4th character. I have to type my password slowly or wait some time. I guess new security layer is kicking in here.
On my MBP I've tried to Install 10.11 from recovery but here it does not connect to Apple servers to check password of my Apple account. This happens when connected via WiFi as well as when connected to Ethernet. I guess I have to create a bootable USB stick first to do a fresh install on my MBP.
But thats it already. The rest is running without issues. Atom is running, nodejs is running, ErlangVM is running, CouchDB is running. So far so good.
[quote]Git-Tower is always crashing when opening a Git repository.[/quote]
Tower 2.21 works fine for me. First thing I confirmed: opened a github repo fetched, pulled, merged, pushed.
This is on a mid-2011 MBP.
I've had only problems with 10.11. At first the OS kept on thinking it hadn't finished installing - it randomly (or I could see no pattern) displayed the installation screen and then dumped me back to the log-in screen. Then, it kept on booting to a black screen. Now, if I don't use my Mac over night and turn it on in the morning, I get about seven hours out of it before the UI freezes.
My Mac is a 2012 Mac Mini with 8GB RAM and a Fusion drive. I disconnected all USB mass storage devices.
I just hope I can recover my Mac without having to reformat the drive - that would be painful.

Seems like they have released a new version 1 day after, which fixes bugs when using GIT 2.4.x (GIT installed via brew)
xCode won't build anything for me - hangs on ""Signing Product"
I've had 2 kernel panics
Safari keeps randomly opening Google + tabs that are blank pages

Installation slow, but no issues.
General impression: Massively improved performance on a late 2013 MBA. Fans were spinning often on Yosemite before, now system is cool (literally). Also, it behaves a lot faster. So that's good and it really makes me not want to go back.
How are you planning on reverting to Yosemite? The warning on the download page indicated that reverting to a previous OS was not possible.
reverting is possible - at least if you have a TimeMachine backup (without losing backupped data ) or a usb thumb drive with the yosemite installer on it ( clean install ).
Repair permissions does no longer exist. First Aid only checks for HDD and file system integrity
Some should actually read release notes before installing:
- Java 6 deprecated

Hi, I have had no luck installing this OS: it gave me and the kernel, pani; then when booting safely , it gave me a message saying 'completing installation 10 minutes', then it rebooted and panic again. Have not been able to run it for more than a few seconds. Now I had to revert to Yosemite via my Time Machine after the MBP 13" kept on showing the 'dead circle' icon. Since installation and subsequent restore it takes about 4 or more hours to get it back were it was. This release is to be avoided if you don't want to brick your computer. If USB devices are frozen ,you won't have a chance to recover your system and files from Time Machine.
I had to press 'alt' key during kernel panic to try and get my usb drive backups to boot and it did it only at random and by chance I got it to boot into the USB3 time machine disk.
APPLE, please do not launch Beta OS X like this one : it is the first time I had kernel panics since my first Apple Mac PPC Tiger back in the 90's and I have upgraded OS and hardware without any problems before: the Good Old Times!
I was in utter angst that I had lost my laptop for ever: please Apple don't launch software when it is not even in beta; this one is in alpha in my opinion.
