I have the same issue with no. 5. Need to restart to get it working again.
The rest, not sure as they are not applicable to me.

Are you using Bettertouchtool? I suspect that may be conflicting with screenshot capture. Will test it out next time the problem occurs.

No, I'm not. Not entirely sure what's the exact issue. Otherwise, most of the time, this machine is great.

The only damn app that's still using x86 is bloody spotify.

I've got a few which I use all the time which are still not native.
1. Dropbox
2. OneDrive
3. Evernote
4. Whatsapp
5. All Adobe apps except Creative Cloud which is native.

Just updated to 11.3 beta 3. Looking good so far. Crossover 64-bit bottles back to working again, beta 2 broke them.

Crossover is subscription based right?

I guess. The cheapest tier is buy once, use forever but 1-yr updates current version only. Whatever that means. Wait for sale, they always have 50% off.

I see. I got some games that not supported on m1.
Fifa 18 (PC) - Origin
Battlefield 3 (PC) - Origin

Currently only can play CS: GO. Other games i’m not very interested to play..

No idea, I haven't tried games with Crossover.

Update to the problems encountered. Not sure Big Sur or M1 problems.

Happens on 11.2, 11.2.1, 11.2.2 and 11.3b2. (Can't remember if it happened on 11.1)

1. Video plays with a black screen with audio. VLC+mp4 or mkv. VLC with mpeg2 in a DVD folder. Had to logout. Rarely happens. So far twice.
2. Telco phone calls via my iPhone seems to be a lot less reliable than my MBPR Late 2013. Keeps disconnecting or losing audio or mic. Happens half the time. Enough for me not to want to use the Mac to make calls. Seems to be ok now on 11.3b3.
3. Safari losing Command-~ shortcut for switching windows. Quitting doesn't help.
4. Screenshots stops working after awhile. ⌘-⇧-4 activates the selection pointer but doesn't capture anything. ⌘-⇧-5 brings up the screenshot bar but is unresponsive to anything other than Escape.
5. Crossover running Win32/64 apps loses mouse clicks.
6. Sublime Text opens with a blank white window.
*3, 4, 5 & 6 happens together. Seems to occur less on 11.3b3. Only twice so far since 4/3. A logout fixes it.
7. qBittorrent 4.3.3 interface is very slow, click, beachball... Started happening with 11.3b3.
8. ⌥ key sometimes stops working for ⌥-⇧ (word selection), ⌥-arrows (cursor movement) and ⌥-letters/numbers (characters) but still works for other things (eg: ⌥-space to invoke Alfred). Affects only native apps, Some but not all Intel apps are fine. Happens only when Unicode Hex Input is selected.
9. SNMP community gets reset after every update (including 11.3b4)


Updates:
28/2: 11.3b2 broke Crossover 64-bit bottles. 32-bit are OK.
4/3: Just installed 11.3b3. Crossover 64-bit bottles fixed.
16/3: Installed 11.3b4.

Updated to 11.3b4 today. Everything seems snappier. Maybe just my imagination. Hope it solves some of the above problems.

But update not so smooth. Hung at the Apple Logo+Progress bar @80% early in the update. I think this is the part where the update restarts the Mac. Anyway waited 30-40mins before I dare to manually off/on.

I plan to get a Mac Mini to work with presumably the same monitor as yours. How is it so far? I'm replacing my MBPR 15 as well as its always in clamshell mode.

It's pretty amazing. So fast and snappy and no more loud fans. I came from MBPR 15" Late 2013.

Internal SSD writes since I got my Mac mini.

That's great! I'm still contemplating on whether to pull the trigger or wait for that M1X mini. Are you using a Viewsonic VX3276-2K monitor? If yes, any issues with it?

Yup, that's the monitor. So far no probs. Only concern I had was of bad pixels but luckily none at all.

yep, same thought here.. not sure when is the M1X mini will be released and dunno to wait for it or not.. tot of getting the mini now but just worry on the SSD write issues.

wow.....now mac mini M1 can configure with 10Gb ethernet
