Bummer… sorry to hear it didn’t work out at all for you… usually before I try a Beta, I read the reviews first, see what other have to say about it and how stable/complete it is, and any big problems people are having… any caveats.., Apple recommends that you don’t install Beta software on any “mission critical or very important” Macs, iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, or Apple Watches… in this case, it’s yours and you only have the one…. You don’t have a spare or a second one to use/setup just in case you bork/mess up the first MacMini… I’d ask you if you already did or had a Time Machine backup from before this happened… that could help.
