desktop environment may not be using GPU
Problem/Opportunity Statement
From @julianpistorius on #469 (closed):
FYI, it seems like neither Firefox nor Chrome on my Ubuntu 20.04 GPU instance is using the NVIDIA GPU. I tried various browser settings, but I think the problem is lower down in the operating system stack.

This is what I see:
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" OpenGL version string: 3.1 Mesa 21.0.3
What would success / a fix look like?
If an Exosphere user is creating a graphical desktop-enabled instance on a GPU-enabled flavor + image, the desktop environment should generally use the GPU when one expects it to.
