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.

I'm not entirely sure, but that would mean that the laptop's display would have to be connected to both the integrated graphics unit and the dedicated graphics chip. I suspect that this will not be the case with most laptops.
I think most modern laptops output to display via integrated GPU even if it's dedicated GPU doing the work. I know there are laptops with much chips that let user select which GPU is directly connected to display, but I guess those are mostly high-end models.
