in cases where Wayland is unavailable (like NVIDIA).
Users will be able to disable the use of Wayland for GDM by setting
WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm/custom.conf.
Users can also select the legacy X11 for their session by using the menu on the login
screen. Enter the login name, and then choose the settings icon to select a different
session from the default.

+ Modern laptops often have two GPUs: one integrated in the processor (igpu) and one
dedicated (dgpu), theoretically allowing the system to only use the igpu for low-intensity
tasks to save power, and switch to the dgpu only when the additional processing power is
required. Support for switching GPUs has historically been lacking in Linux distributions.
This change aims to improve the open-source graphical drivers.

+ In Fedora 25, owners of laptops with two GPUs should be able to use them as expected,
without any problems with external outputs or with suspend/resume, and without having to
keep the dgpu enabled at all times through firmware settings.
