Comparing Fedora 27 ISO to
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-28-20180320.n.0.iso, the biggest
difference is Fedora 28 packagekitd is soaking the CPU nearly 100%
upon initial login and uses upwards of 20% of the available memory
before settling down to 10%.. This is without launching anything.
Whereas on Fedora 27, the memory footprint for packagekitd is 0.2%.

Fedora 27 ISO I can launch and use Firefox with a VM of 1.5G. I can't
with Fedora 28, and the VM reports dozens of:
Mar 22 00:47:49 localhost-live org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1707]: Window
manager warning: HW cursor for format 875713089 not supported

And then just becomes unresponsive.

Anyway, tentatively it looks like 1G was a bogus minimum for Fedora
27, where 1.5G would have worked. And for Fedora 28 it needs to be 2G.
