Wait until you can’t boot it at all because the APFS volume was corrupted. BSOD all over again.
I'm 4 reboots into updating this Mac and this is all giving me severe Windows vibes. "About 10 minutes remaining..." I thought half the point of this APFS system volume stuff was that updates would just be flipping a snapshot... Even Android and Nintendo figured this one out.

I already shrunk it and the process complained of errors (fresh machine here). Already saw a mac die due to APFS crapping out and had to do data recovery for a friend a few months ago... I guess it's a good thing I'm putting a real OS on this thing ;)

Little chance that I will buy another Mac to replace my wonderful 2015 Air. I skipped the keyboard disaster, but lately OS quality has gone downhill, with a tiring tendency to lockdown. Only my linux machines are behaving well. Unfortunately I still need one Windows box.

Seems that Apple is following the steps of Micros~1 and is outsourcing development to the cheapest contractor. Linux and the M1 would make for a potent combo, but Apple's business model and their anti-openness attitude are enough reason to stop and think again ...

That's a good point... Android managed to deliver on seamless updates, why doesn't Apple?

Ha, 11.1 update essentially broke unsigned kexts for me. And there was no snapshot to roll back.

The strange thing is that updates are seamless on iOS. I don’t even notice that my device updated itself overnightS

Would be interesting to see where that time really goes. Because on the APFS side, it should actually work like that. But I hear that they do millions of AES wraps on the SEP side when updating SEPOS...

And linux can kexec in a new kernel even.... It is almost like some systems are going backwards at this point.
