I've added it to my 2017 Macbook in its own partition so I can experiment with it instead of using it as my main device. At first, I was a bit frustrated because I was really looking forward to the Music app with its active subscription. The issue is that it won't load anything from Apple Music online! Perhaps the problem is location-based (UK). Another issue I've noticed is that installed apps show up in the Applications folder but don't appear in Launchpad. It feels a bit disappointing, even for a beta version. Besides that, it seems a bit snobby, though I'm not sure about its battery consumption—since I've had the power cord plugged in during testing so far.

The only issue is WhatsApp failing to open since it isn't from a recognized developer, even though I downloaded it from the App Store.

Sure, share the image of the Music app showing songs or listings.

Because I rely entirely on Spotify and don’t have any music installed on my Mac.

I'm curious if it's just me who's having trouble opening any ads... but don't worry, you don't need a subscription to try.

Only me has started Public Beta 2 so far. Anyone else tried it?

I'm using it as the main operating system on my MacBook. So far, I've noticed the disk utility won't restore an ISO to a USB drive, and Etcher isn't working either.
