Gnome Shell is supposed to show case Wayland. Yet apparently it got fundamental architecture wrong to the point of Fedora documentation issuing an apology. From Common Fedora bugs page [1]:
> Otherwise, we advise that you may wish to consider using the GNOME on Xorg session (see above) rather than the default Wayland session; this should at least prevent the crashes from ending your GNOME session when they occur. We do apologize for any inconvenience and/or lost data caused by such Shell crashes.
In Fedora 26 I experienced those crashes few times out of the blue. It is annoying to say the least.

- an_d_rew 9y ago... which happens to be the exact opposite of what you want if you’re into deep learning. Sigh.
- fpoling 9y agoCan one productively use a video card in a laptop or even in a high-end desktop for machine learning? At work we use a special workstation-type box with 4 NVidea cards. It is not connected to any display and we do not run any remote graphical sections on it that could have used graphical cards. Still it is slow at learning. If not the size of datasets (video in lossless compression), we would use cloud solutions.
- m45t3r 9y agoYeah, you can actually do it. Just run desktop in your integrated Intel GPU and CUDA in NVIDIA discrete GPU.

- m45t3r 9y agoYou may have hit some Skylake GPU bugs, mostly of those are fixed in kernels 4.12+.
