dear sir,

i am sorry to hear of your frustrations. as a many decade fedora user,
may i share a process that has never failed me. naturally, YMMV, but consider,...

first, the obligatory backup of you old env & /home/user.

boot from a <newosmedia>.{iso|dvd|network}, your choice wiping all pre-existing data!.
set target drives to install as well as kbd, tz, default apps, finish install & reboot.

now install all desired apps,  do a dns update, & reboot.

last, restore your /home/user, verify any /home/user/.hidden files from your personal stuff, reboot.

hth, good luck from new F28 user (working on openvpn, dns leak myself! ;)

    Today March third was a total waste of my time!!!
I attempted to down load and install your Fedora 28 release.
Over the course of the day I was able to install the build, add the
packages that i needed and
update the software. After spending the day installing and configuring
the software I attempted
a reboot. Result the system booted up to a blank grey screen! No error
messages no nothing.

    Lets face the facts YOU HAVE A QUALITY PROBLEM!!! Fix it!

    I have been able to successfully load and make use of CentOS,
Debian, and Ubantu releases
over the past 20 years with no problems!
But I have had only intermittent success with Fedora versions after 14.
You have a severe quality problem fix it.

A dedicated CentOS user.
