What's best practice to safely play pirated games on Linux? Looking to mitigate potentially malicious executables from wrecking havoc on my system.

Referring to integrated graphics as a 'second GPU' is somewhat misleading. They do provide additional graphics processing, but they're part of the CPU and not a separate, dedicated graphics card.

But it still processes GPU code, telling anyone you can run vulkan on your 'fancy CPU' they'll probably look at you like youre crazy

Also then for a device without a dedicated, would you consider not to have a gpu?

Running Vulkan on integrated graphics isn't the point here. Integrated graphics in a CPU are not what people typically refer to as a GPU. So, if someone asks what GPU I have, I wouldn't say 'Intel HD Graphics' or such; that's just the integrated graphics capability of the processor, not a discrete GPU.

Yes, absolutely.
