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.

So I did follow a tutorial earlier and I think I got something going. One thing the tutorial didn't mention is plugging one of the monitors into the motherboard's HDMI. That's why I only had one monitor when I did it? 🤦🏽♂️
Probably, if everything else is correct. GPU passthrough hands over an entire GPU to the virtual machine, so the only way of getting the output of that vm is plugging a monitor in that GPU
Makes sense. Thank you. I'll mess with it more and see what I can come up with.
This might be of use to you:

You might still need a dummy hdmi/DP plug/adapter.
Hold on, what? So this is just something you download and run? I've never heard of this thing, in case this question sounds stupid. Lol
You would still need to pass the GPU through to the VM, but this can eliminate the need to plug the GPU output into another device or use a dedicated monitor.
I have never used it, but I know it is pretty common.
I checked their site and the Linux version of their app, according to them, is basically "use at your own risk". Not fully functional nor heavily tested.
