Hey everyone, I'm facing some challenges with my MacBook Pro lately. I'm attempting to install macOS Catalina on my PC using the guide you shared, but I'm encountering difficulties since I only have one GTX 1080 GPU now. I recall seeing a video about this setup with multiple GPUs, which made it smoother. If I don't have a second dedicated GPU, could I still boot from my iGPU (i7-6700k) to make the dedicated GPU available? Also, is there any way around this issue? Thanks in advance!

You can't achieve it using just the 1080 alone, but an iGPU should make it possible. Simply connect the monitor to the iGPU and it should function properly; otherwise, adjust a setting in your BIOS. Keep in mind you'll need another monitor or a cable linking the 1080 to your display so you can switch. You might also try using Glass to view it on your Linux desktop.
