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.

You need a GPU for the host, to passthrough another GPU to the VM.

You could use integrated gpu like intel cpu, and then a dedicated gpu passed through to the VM

You can "unplug" your unique/dedicated GPU to plug it into the VM upon VM startup. But it's a bit harder to manage. It's an option though 👌
