macOS Big Sur is a massive departure from macOS Catalina. Apple has completely redesigned the significant parts of the OS and at the same time added functions such as widget support, Control Centre, new iconography, and more. However, whenever a major update to an operating system drops, there are bound to be issues and bugs. And unfortunately, macOS Big Sur is no exception here. The update is riddled with bugs and issues such as installation stuck on a loop, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi issues, below-average battery life, and more.
One of the issues with M1-based Macs is that they do not support Boot Camp meaning there’s no way to run Windows on these machines. As per Apple’s Craig Federighi, it is actually up to Microsoft to bring Windows to M1 Macs and not Apple. Many initially believed that due to the underlying shift in architecture with the M1 chip, it was up to Apple to add Boot Camp support for Windows but that does not seem to be the case.

Apple’s stock wallpaper collection for macOS is amazing. Needless to say, Apple spends a lot of time and effort to create new wallpapers. The latest macOS Big Sur features a default wallpaper that pictures California’s mountainous cliffs. Typically you would have to use a drone and visit California’s Central Coast to take the picture. Matt Birchler has saved himself the trouble and recreated the macOS wallpaper in Microsoft’s Flight Simulator 2020.
With every new release of macOS, Apple tends to release a new default system wallpaper as well.

YouTuber Andrew Levitt went on an adventurous journey with two of his friends to do exactly that.
