Gdm-x-session spam logs with debug

Support

How do I redirect all the gdm-x-session logs and debug information to a separate file??

I don’t like it filling up journalctl!

The whole purpose of journald is to have your logs in a searchable database. This database is limited in size, and its contents are periodically cleaned out on a first-in-first-out basis. So there is no reason to log to anything else.

I agree, I just wish the gdm devs would shrink or reduce duplicates to logs and/or NVIDIA actually fix their driver.
