Anyone else running the Beta for this? I just installed it. As I use it I'll post bugs and junk here for anyone else interested.

IT'S A BETA OPERATING SYSTEM, EXPECT SHIT TO GO WRONG.
I just got to 7.0...
I could put it on my 6P and I ran the Nougat DPs before Nougat came out, but the beta experience isn't great for a daily driver. I'm good on Pure Nexus ROM now and have no desire to lose all of the features it has to go back to stock, even if it's for 8.0.
I am sorry you picked a Samsung.
How did you know?!
Anyway I don't think android changed much in the last 3 years
It has been rather smooth so far. There are a few apps that have issues, but I expected that. The over all OS has changed very little, as far as I can tell. A few changes in the settings menu, but not much to report. I would go back to 7.1.2 but at this point I am not interested in wiping my device.
Yeah, I'm a root user too and I'm sure Magisk (keeps Android Pay and other apps that are not root friendly working like Netflix and some games) and all that don't play well with 8.0 either.
The notification snoozing and PIP support in O look decent and I could see myself using those occasionally. The biggest improvement I think Android to make right now would be in improving (and maintaining over time) overall app/UI performance, and more importantly battery efficiency or at least usage tracking. The worst thing ever is seeing your phone's battery tank one day and you check your battery stats only to see "Android system" or "Android OS" has killed most of your battery because some other 3rd party app is still able to hide behind it.
Speaking of slow updates for Samsung phones though, Project Treble is seemingly supposed to address OEM update delays at least somewhat. It seems to mostly benefit phones that are on stock Android, but it could still help skinned phones like Samsung's get their updates out a bit faster too. I'm not counting on it, but I guess we shall wait and see.
