I bit the bullet last night and upgraded from Catalina to Big Sur. The download and install was a nightmare and for a time I thought I'd lost everything. I encountered two particular issues, a hang at 'less then one minute' at install completion and another at the 'optimising' stage. The only way to get through these processes was to power off and on again, which I really didn't want to do, but seemed to have little choice. After about three hours it was fully installed and running without any further snags. Was it worth the effort, definitely yes! Generally faster, especially Safari and an overall cleaner look resembling iPhone/iPad.
