os x OS X 10.11 'El Capitan' preview thread

[Quillz]

So, before I get around to installing El Capitan, what is the very early impression? Does it seem stable, or is there a lot of random crashing?

[Prymitywista]

And main question is: does it seem be better than Yosemite (faster)?

[PGHammer]

and download it without being developer?

It's leaked to torrent sites already;  I doubt it would be any more restricted than Yosemite (or earlier developer previews) were - in other words, no restrictions at all.

 

The first Public Beta won't be until July - to put it bluntly, why do folks think Apple OS users (both Hacks and Macs alike) are any more patient than Windows users?

Has anyone been able to install it yet under a VM?

Still no (Aero) Snap.

lol I'd be scared to install just when I have League of Legends. League itself is buggy.

Can anyone try opening https://d3oaxc4q5k2d6q.cloudfront.net/ in Chrome on El Capitan? Should redirect to Bitbucket, but I get security errors in Chrome. Works fine in Safari/Firefox and on Yosemite.

Works for me in Chrome 45 dev on OS X 10.11.

I am so excited for Split View. I know it seems simple, but ever since the Windows 7 days, it is just so convenient to easily move to windows side by side and now it has finally made it into OS X. I haven't missed much from my Windows days, but that was definitely one thing.

 

Also, really like the new Disk Utility!

 

 

Hyperdock provides this.. although no use for it with 10.11

Well crap, must be my install then.

 

* Found it, some weird old certificates in my login keychain. Weird.

[binaryzero]

Oh Snap!!

Yep, but I have issues with viewing icons in finder windows. I also cannot see application icons in the finder... only if use launchpad.

[SuperKid]

Well, this sucks:

Tell Minecraft to support the latest Java versions!!

 

edit: workaround is to install Java 8 from oracle website, download Minecraft.jar from "https://minecraft.net/download" then run in terminal "java -jar minecraft.jar"

 

Anyhow, I hope Metal improves the Retina MBP sluggishness sometimes with normal desktop apps.

I'm wrong! Finally Apple! This will basic addition will really improve workflow on OS X.

I'm tempted to install.. 10.11 bootcamped with Windows 10.. I'm sure my Mac loves me lol

[Depicus]

Installing on a 2006 iMac so in 30+ minutes I'll let you know how fast it is

[Prymitywista]

Great, because Yosemite on rMBP 2014 is a disaster, maverick is slight better.

Yep, but I have issues with viewing icons in finder windows. I also cannot see application icons in the finder... only if use launchpad.

 

Okay...which one?  VMware, Parallels, or virtualbox?

[Depicus]

Ok just installed on a 2007 iMac and it all seems ok, not fast but it wasn't before. Parallels works ok, again slow but it works. One big problem for me is Photoshop CS4 does not work as it needs Java SE 6. Netbeans and Android Dev Studio work fine.

BetterTouchTool can support it and it's free. I've even set up the WinKey/CMD + Arrow keys to move the windows round as I would expect from Windows 7+.
