Fedora 30 Workstation - Installation And First Impression DistroTube
video description
I get that a -new- user would not investigate either, but you could have ran into those problems and then provide an easy way to solve them, which could have made for a great video.
I also get that you're not trying to solve those problems because this is merely a distro review, but how can you review a distro with flawed 'hardware' (like the VM's graphics configuration)?
On mem consumption, tmpfs used for /tmp/ will severely improve performance, and that's why it's implemented that way in Fedora. That is one of the many reasons it is snappier than Ubuntu for example. I've tested that on bare metal more than once now.

The major fault with Anaconda is the lack of messages or some screen activity to indicate that the system is working behind the scenes.
If you are slightly familiar with Linux, you should do the installation using the workspace ISO. The live version dose provide options to select a full or custom installation, and it only provides a preselected list of software.
Please review the workspace network installation option and as well, the new -silverblue- alternative. The SB alternative treatments the kernel and direct support applications as a flatpack. An installation can be easily rolled back or removed.
Fedora 30 is GREAT and worth a second visit.

I have to say that this was a bad presentation. The installer is similar if not indentical, to CentOS and RedHat installer. Probably you had issue with your virtualization software. VirtualBox is crap, let's face it. Use virt-manager better.
When you tried to change the resolution, you missed the scroll bar, there are much more options than what you show.
Gnome shell has plenty of keyboard short-cuts. Super + A is quite handy, if you find troublesome the fact that everything is hidden compared to Ubuntu desktop shell.
Finally, none said that Fedora tries to be -beginner friendly-. If you want that, go with Ubuntu or Pop!_OS.

-DistroTube I face data copy error on All Linux distros from Arch , debian , Ubuntu and even in fedora
Mean to say when I copy a file in USB it starts and show very high speed and then after copying 700mb to 800mb it just stop copying the data or sometimes it copies successfully but when I insert flash on other pc it didn't show the stuff. What is the possible solution. You are older linux user even older then me because I am 19 years old. Is there any solution or not?

I finally got Fedora 30 upgraded to latest Firefox, Thunderbird, Libre, works with Netflix and others. Alot of extensions are now working correctly,
Only things is Wayland has Windows buzzing at start, I had to fall back to X.org. Gnome is different, but its get all the crap out of the way and you can focus on just your apps. One of the first sets to work with all the apps too. Hope 31 or 32 really works out the wayland issues.

Your demo used a starved VM system. All your complaints are due to impatience. It appears to me that you did not prepare or do a dry run.
You missed too much to show preparations.
You like Ubuntu. When the only tool a person has is a hammer, everything looks like a nail
The best installer program is the one provided by SUSE Tumbleweed.
Tumbleweed is equivalent to Fedora. Both provide up-to-date software.

I love fedora and have used it since Fedora Core 4, but I have had problems with every single version I have used. Always have to troubleshoot installation issues, audio issues, and a plethora of other issues. I am currently TRYING to get the live usb to boot...trying. Seems that iWARP/InfiniBand/RDMA service is perpetually -starting-. Kernel panic, etc. Fed up.

I just ran the command -sudo dnf update fedora-repos && sudo dnf distro-sync- as I had been in Fedora 30 Beta, and it removed 105 dependencies related to mostly anaconda and python. Not sure if that was the correct thing to do. And do not know if there is another way to clean up the system, other than deleting the back-up kernels.

The installation on my laptop was also less than stellar. Languages did display, but I could not choose one. Clicked the continue button but nothing happened. Also tried hitting -enter-. Finally, the installer moved to the next screen. Finally got it installed.
Miss the minimize button on my windows. Will probably try XFCE.
