Adds support for preferring Wayland on NVIDIA hardware when NVIDIA_USE_WAYLAND=1 environment variable is set.

Changes

  • Added udev rule for NVIDIA GPUs (vendor 0x10de) that checks for NVIDIA_USE_WAYLAND=1 and jumps to new gdm_prefer_wayland label
  • Added gdm_prefer_wayland label that configures GDM to prefer Wayland over X11
