I installed the Big Sur developer beta on both my 2018 Mac mini as well as my 2019 16" MacBook Pro. The beta runs fine on the mini but on my MBP I have a huge problem in that after the installation and initial reboot the screen flickers every 2 seconds or so, rendering it impossible to view anything. I've tried rebooting, resetting SMC and reinstalling and the issue repeats itself.
Anyone else see this problem?

Hello there,
Got a similar problem but when I would toggle on True Tone, Display Brightness would become completely crazy and would almost go from sealer screen to putting a grayish layer to the point I could not even see.. It seems to me that the system is trying to adjust the brightness according to the ambient light sensor but macOS Big Sur being at its earliest stages is unable to resolve that at the moment.
I am gone have to test tonight and report here.
Wishing you a very good afternoon.
