This is my first bootup of F30-arm-Xfce.
I am running on a Cubieboard2, using the F29 uboot. /boot and / are on the sata drive, per my regular Cubie setup.
Setting up monitor and keyboard for the test is a bit of a pain, my KVM does not support HDMI, so I use a real keyboard and mouse and disconnect my monitor from my work notebook for first boot and initial testing. I hope to at least use the KVM keyboard/mouse for next testing.
I am please to observe that the video handling is snappier than it was with F29-Xfce. The 1st config GUI was actually bearable, and when I selected items like setting the root password, feeling that a shade was being pulled up was less. It actually went up much faster than back in my F29 testing.
The Xfce desktop itself is reasonable speed-wise. So what ever was done with the video handling (I remember comments about the Cubie GPU and GTK3), thanks!
Still no Xfce GUI date/time applet. This is an Xfce issue, and I will take it to their list. Again.
Next to try the KVM, then see if I can get VNC working...
More comments as time allows.

having issues with dnf....
From the serial console:
# dnf update Waiting for process with pid 1878 to finish. KeyboardInterrupt: Terminated. [root@localhost ~]# uptime 09:20:03 up 33 min, 2 users, load average: 1.23, 1.19, 1.28
I really don't like that auto startup starts the dnf check. I have to boot in and then turn it off. Why is it still running after all this time? Perhaps it is missing the keys?
Grumble.
