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 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.
