+ Starting GNOME
+
+
+ It is possible to start GNOME from the command
+ line, rather than using GDM. However, you must still have GDM installed
+ for some portions of the desktop to work. One reason to start from the
+ command line is if you want Wayland support on a system that has the
+ proprietary NVIDIA driver installed, since GDM will not show the Wayland
+ session type on such a system.
+
+
+
+ To start GNOME using
+ , run the following commands:
+
+
+cat > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF"
+dbus-run-session gnome-session
+EOF
+
+startx
+
+
+ Alternatively, to start GNOME with Wayland
+ support, run the following command:
+
+
+dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --display-server --wayland
