From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I guess you never heard of GPU Passthrough... https://github.com/bryansteiner/gpu-passthrough-tutorial/
GPU passthrough requires two GPUs, a system with compatible components, a lot of caffeine and a lot of patience. Not something for someone who wants something that just works.
It only requires it if you want the host to have a gpu, too. Otherwise, single-gpu passthrough is very much possible
And integrated GPU counts, so you could use the integrated one for the host and a discrete card for the guest.
That's a really nice option, yeah. No need for the extra expense when the CPU you use or are going to buy has an iGPU anyway
