For Fedora 27 it says this:
Fedora Workstation to a laptop or desktop computer that has at least 1
GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, and 10 GB space available

When I set a VM to 1G it's always unusable. Sometimes it's PackageKit
that crashes first, which causes systemd-coredump to spin up and run
out of memory next, and then oom killers start killing off various
processes. Sometimes the oom killing just starts happening without a
prior crash. In any case I never get a desktop.
With 1.5G RAM I usually get a desktop but then if anything crashes,
and it seems like PackageKit is crashing often when under memory
pressure (?), it kicks off systemd-coredump which makes the memory
problem worse, and a bunch of oom killers start killing off various
processes. In any case, I cannot successfully run the installer or
Firefox by themselves.
