How to Launch Ubuntu GNOME (Wayland) without Display Manager.

I'm not a fans of display manager (GDM, Lightdm, SDDM, etc), though for some people they could be usefull. When I'm using debian, slackware, alpine, I can launch GNOME desktop without display manager (I use tbsm / terminal based session manager). Strangely when I move to Ubuntu, I'm kind of forced to use display manager (GDM, in this case). So I tried several commands to launch ubuntu GNOME directly from tty and gladly I found it. I just need to use this command :

	#!/usr/bin/env bun

	import { exec } from 'child_process'
	import { promisify } from 'util'
	import * as fs from 'fs'
	import * as path from 'path'

	const execAsync = promisify(exec)
	const action = process.env.TOOLBOX_ACTION
