The second hard fork of bitcoin has been scheduled for october 25th.
any way you look at things this can not be the second fork of bitcoin!
bitcoin itself already had multiple forks before this (at least 4 i know of) soft fork and hard fork.
forks from bitcoin and creating an altcoin have been a lot more too. there has been at least 500-700 forks from bitcoin, creating different altcoins. at least 50 of them did airdrops to bitcoin holders 1:1
The support for bitcoin gold seems to be much smaller than bitcoin cash since most of miners don't support it.
No, the reason is because it has a big ICO with a huge premine. and nobody cares about altcoins like that.
besides it is not really doing anything useful.
So,it means that any one with GPU could mine bitcoin gold easily.
yes, until its hashrate grows and people start pooling their GPU power and then a farm shapes up and then you will no longer be able to mine it with a single GPU and will need an appropriate mining rig!

for how much time it could last?
shitcoins last for 2 months to a year.
this is not exactly a shitcoin, but not a real altcoin either so it can last a year at least in my opinion. but we have to wait and see after it is released to give any meaningful opinion.
