This is pretty impressive. My impression was that eGPUs simply do not work with Apple Silicon.

(EDIT: Apple agrees with my impression. “To use an eGPU, a Mac with an Intel processor is required.” And, on top of that, the officially supported eGPUs were all AMD not NVIDIA. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102363)

This is not using an eGPU with macOS, ie you can't run your chrome on macOS with its GPU acceleration coming from this eGPU. This is tunneling that eGPU to a Linux VM.
