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.

Intel has been making CPUs with integrated GPUs for ages, i7-6700K with UHD630 graphics for example, the thing is they contain a very small number of shaders, etc, because there is only so much real-estate on a single die and these weren't really intended for gaming, just providing enough GPU for a basic display, watch videos, etc.
Can have a shared power envelope and naturally shares heat dissipation - which can both be limiters to simultaneously making full use of integrated graphics & CPU as well, even if the integrated graphics were powerful enough for gaming.
