I'd suggest a fresh install. There's a lot of stuff that changed very
significantly between F18 and F22. You would probably spend more time
sorting out problems for each upgrade step than just doing a fresh
install and restoring the users' home directories and such.

As Joe says, if you want to go the upgrade route, go incrementally
(F18->F19->F20->F21->F22). You might get by with F18->F20->F22, but
sometimes skipping the interim steps can cause issues, too. It's your
choice. Just make real, REAL sure you have a solid backup before you
do anything! I can almost guarantee you'll have a "Doh!" moment or two.
