** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * In Ubuntu 22.04, gdm should use Wayland by default even if proprietary 
nVidia driver is in use.
+  * gdm upstream prefers Wayland if nvidia version newer than (or equal) to 
510. It same as Ubuntu's strategy[1]. 
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+ Steps:
+ 1. Download jammy daily build
+ 2. Install nvidia driver by selecting "install third-party packages.." during 
the installation.
+ 3. Login without selecting modes (e.g. "Ubuntu" or "Ubuntu on Wayland" or 
enable auto-login during the installation.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+  * If nVidia GPU doesn't support Wayland then it will be a problem but it 
doesn't means this patch leads a regression, instead, the problem should always 
there as it is if the user switches to Wayland mode no matter default mode.
+  * This ticket switches the default mode to Wayland. If there is a problem 
then user will encounter it after the installation which has bad experience.
+  * However, it's not regression because Jammy is a new LTS version and we 
decide to switch to Wayland. If a problem occurs, then we fix it.
