5.1. Introduction to GDM

To start a GNOME Desktop session, users must log in to authenticate their identity. The login screen provides gateway to the desktop environment for the user. The GNOME Display Manager (GDM) application controls the login screen.

GDM also enables you to log in to another session without closing the current session.
