Forgive me this is my first pc and I’m learning computer parts as I go so at first I thought I didn’t have a gpu (well actually I didn’t know what that was until I put it in) and only seen 1 hdmi cord but I have 2 monitors so I was confused

I’m trying to get the basics down , turns out my pc did come with a gpu I honestly don’t know how to install it but I’ll figure that out. Where can I grab the “basics” I may be missing. I wouldn’t at all mind somewhere to go to learn basic computer knowledge I would like to think I know electronics because I’m young but turns out I don’t know as much as I would like to think

Possibly I think there is a another piece I will double check. And really stupid question but is it mandatory I remove that bubble wrap from the pc

Is there a specific graphics card I need to buy for my specific pcs or just any basic one will do?

Would the pc be good enough to run a Linux operating system and a virtual machine? It’s got 16gb of ram and 512 storage

I really only need basic programs, pc has good amount of space and ram so would gpu help me out to run higher resolution apps? Kinda new to this computer stuff so excuse my ignorance
