I’m on 29 right now. I usually wait about three months after release before doing the in place upgrade. I did the upgrade from 28 to 29 about a month after release and had problems.
I think this time I will do a clean install, maybe of the KDE spin. I haven’t used KDE in a long time. And a clean install because I’ve been doing in place upgrades since Fedora 23.
I will have to wait until later tomorrow to upgrade since I don’t want to take the chance of breaking any packages I need now, bad enough I have to sacrifice my sleep hours this night.
Upgraded 4 systems with gnome and mate and it all went fine. Only issue i ran into was with dash to dock, interestingly my laptop upgraded from beta and never had the dock problem. Resorted to using plank which is xorg only but not relevant for those systems.
My main system is upgraded from the plasma beta and it had some quirks still. Packagekit seems to mess with the ability to connect to a vpn with openvpn. Also pulseaudio has issues that may or may not be fedora related.

I’ve upgraded my Dell XPS to Fedora 30 yesterday with DNF. After upgrading, which went without any problems, I needed to upgrade my Gnome extensions manually to get things like dash to dock and coverflow working again.
The thing that is bugging me now since the upgrade is a message saying my home directory is full. But the partition where /home is mounted on is only 13% full and I have inodes to spare.
But i’m not sure yet if it’s a bug or just a result of my noob skills…

I upgraded my thinkpad e570 to fedora 30 with the software center, no major issues in useability, but a couple shell extensions were broken and needed to be upgraded
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1000/random-walls/
Random walls doesn’t work on fedora 30
Flash on Google Chrome is broken, trying to run the flash plugin doesn’t work
apparently the dev version of chrome has flash working, and the release for the official is still a couple months away.
On that note, does anyone know how to use DNF to downgrade or redo the changes?
I tried following the suggestions from this thread, but not many people posted working fixes
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=29running that spits out this error

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)Anyone have any suggestions for downgrading?
Christ. I’d be useless.
Confirm above/was unable to get flash working in chrome or chromium. It did work on firefox when logged in Xorg.
I was unable to use broadcom/bcm43228 wireless adapter - found a good deal of potential fixes - tried and failed.
