As of the latest updates to gdm3, I still can't boot with my laptop when it's in discrete mode (nvidia graphics only). Does not get to the greeter.
syslog is full of countless repetitions of "Stopping NVIDIA persistence Daemon".
CPU must be high because the fan comes on. I've reported this but it's going to be better if someone who knows what they are doing can reproduce it.

(In hybrid mode, it boots, but no external displays are detected, which implies that nvidia isn't working properly)

I have the latest 375 Nvidia driver. nvidia Modesetting is enabled.

Still works fine with lightdm as the display manager.
