Today, I've migrated to Fedora 30. In contrast to a common misconception the borg-backup tool is working great, all the data from the USB stick have been restored into the home folder. What is new in Fedora 30 is, that no longer a root user is added in the install procedure. Instead only a normal user is created which can use the "sudo" command to gain more priviligues.
It is important to know, that after the first login, the Fedora system will download a lot of information in the background. This is around 1 GB in total. The best way is to wait until the task is done and doing other things in the meantime. The good news is, that in the default software repository programs like Google chrome can be installed easily. In previous FEdora version, the user had to add manually a repository, this is no longer nessarcy.
From the look and feel there is no improvement to previous versions. The announced faster login or the lower memory consumption is not there. The gnome desktop will take around 1.5 GB as default for rendering exact one window. The good news is, that all the programs are running smoothly. The webbrowser shows the Internet, the texteditor allows to read files and the filemanager can open USB media.
The overall look and feel is very similar to Mac OS X and Windows 10. The average user gets an easy to use operating system which he doesn't understand. If the user is interested in learning about computing itself, the better OS is Eulex Forth, http://forth-ev.de/wiki/events:ft2019:start which takes only 50kb of RAM.
