Apple released macOS Big Sur also know as macOS 11 November 12th.
New Macs with the M1 chip require it, but put bluntly, we strongly recommend that you do not upgrade any other production Macs to Big Sur yet. Along with a complete user interface overhaul, it has significant under-the-hood changes that could pose compatibility problems for many workflows in the near term. We’ll be evaluating Big Sur with common productivity apps shortly and will update our advice about when it’s safe to upgrade as we learn more.
If you have not changed the default settings on your Mac, you will get notices to upgrade to Big Sur.
To keep these from appearing, go the System Preferences > Software update and uncheck the box that says “Automatically keep my Mac up to date”
If you want to see what is coming in Big Sur you can check out these sites, but we would advise not updating your Mac until 2021.
