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.

Isn’t the GPU used for the application defined by the monitor it is opened on and on which GPU this monitor is then connected to?
The output and the renderer are separate and configurable concepts.
I don't know, could be. But I don't want to always put the monitor cables into another port. I thought there maybe could be a software way to do this or only use the GPU for the really intense tasks.
