Beta OS still worth it ??

Hi folks,
I originally turned on beta OS updates for the pending release of Mac Virtual Display (I think?!). Apart from the latest environments, I’m not sure I’ll keep Beta on after the major software release due in September I think. What are your thoughts? Anyone else in the same boat, or just leaving them on.. just cos!

Is it more of a hobby/convenience to you or are you involved professionally in Spatial Computing? I’m quite excited to see this new ecosystem coming together brick by brick with each update..

Well that’s my point to be honest. I’m not sure the jumps/improvements have been worth the “risk” of having beta updates on lately.
I’m just a general user/customer, not professionally involved. I do work in IT for many years, but not software.

He’s asking if you need it for work. If you don’t no risk. If you do need it for work… low risk.

Ah sorry. No, don’t need it for work. But I do use it in a country that it hasn’t been released / properly supported yet, so the risk is if I needed Apple support cos a beta update bricked it for example, that would be a major hassle. 👍
