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.

GPU passthrough is a huge headache that doesn't work how you would want it to from what I've vented. You apparently need 2 gpus. There are some setups that take one in theory but I've yet to find anyone who properly set it up.
Those who I've found to have setup a GPU passthrough said it wasn't worth the upkeep and stopped with the first update cycle.
I think this depends on the GPU and drivers, I know some professional/enterprise ones can be divided among multiple VMs and a host. I haven't had to deal with this because it seems like a headache to try. And everything I use works on Linux anyway.
