Testing request: gdm-on-Wayland on hybrid graphics laptops (esp. Macbooks)

Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22-TC3.iso installed without problems
using an external USB drive on my Macbook Pro with 15-inch Retina
Display.  I logged on using GNOME with Wayland for the user created during
installation - no problem.


That said, the system appears fragile, and network configuration looks
like it will be a challenge.  Some of that may be peculiar Apple
hardware; even the wired Ethernet has issues.  Still, this is much better
than my last attempt with an early F22 Beta, which would not boot after
installation.

POR was required after USB wi-fi and wired Ethernet (through Lightning
connection dongle) plug events, which I suppose might be related to
unsupported Apple hardware issues.
