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.

Laptop and GPU don't really belong in the same sentence. There are good ones that are integrated or not. But if you are asking about GPUs it's time to look into a desktop. A laptop will never have a good GPU.
Edit: Saw that you are talking about game development. Yes, it's desktop time. You will need it.
Idk if I agree with that. The one that's in my laptop works pretty well. It's an RTX 3080 Mobile. It's fairly beefy, and I'm able to run AAA games at max graphics settings at 60+ fps. Sure there are crappy laptops with weak GPUs, but I mean gaming laptops exist and work great in my experience.
Well…maybe. I will say what Apple has done is pretty impressive. A desktop has the power supply to drive energy intensive workloads, however I would rather not do that for … game tinkering, at best. Mobility is a virtue.
