That was one suggestion that someone told me in another forums, but when I
tried to do that, it displayed the Linux desktop and also showed from the
xrandr command. So it seems to be hooked up to the Intel GPU, although I
have not tried from the USB Type-C connector (although I do not have an
adaptor for it).
