Anyway, while we won't do that Fedora... since you're clearly
interested in customizing your system, you can do so for yourself. What
you want to do is build gdm using the configure flag
--disable-user-display-server. You can host your special gdm in a copr
if you want to make it easier for other Nvidia overclockers to use it.
See
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/XorgWithoutRootRights for
why this was changed (over five years ago!). The changes were made
upstream, so there is nothing Fedora-specific here. If you use GNOME on
most other distros, you should see the same behavior. The only distro I
know of that uses --disable-user-display-server is Endless.
