Description
The GNOME Display Manager is a system service that is responsible for providing graphical log-ins and managing local and remote displays.
Note that GDM runs a full gnome-session when starting, but dependency on the gnome-session package is not enforced in this package to prevent a dependency loop: gdm -> gnome-session -> gnome-shell -> gdm
In the other systems
The newest version among them is 49.4, as upstream numbers it.
