It's been a few weeks since we saw the introduction of new operating systems from Apple as part of the WWDC20 conference. Specifically, these were iOS and iPadOS 14, macOS 11 Big Sur, watchOS 7 and tvOS 14. Immediately after the end of the conference, the first individuals could download the developer beta versions of the above systems. Unfortunately, the same was not true for ordinary users, who simply had to wait for the release of the first public beta versions. A few days back, Apple released the public beta versions of iOS and iPadOS 14, and today we finally saw the release of the public beta version of macOS 11 Big Sur. So, if you want to install the new macOS in the public beta version, proceed as follows.
