There's no need to wait on Valve releasing SteamOS 3 for everyone thanks to Bazzite. Some really impressive work continues to go into it, and it appears they're enjoying some nice overall growth.
Works great on my main PC. I have some legacy hardware, a 12 year old PC I shoved a gtx970 into, and I cannot seem to get Bazzite running on it. It would run Win10 and most modern titles well enough to let the kiddo play on it, so this is disappointing. Maybe I need a different distro for something so old?
I believe Bazzite uses the open kernel driver, which requires a 1600 series card or newer. For a gtx970, you’ll need to use the proprietary driver. Most distros support it
Correct, but that is why there are two different Nvidia images, bazzite-nvidia and bazzite-nvidia-open. OP just needs to use bazzite-nvidia for the older/legacy cards.

I thought I did, they had a drop down menu to select based on my card. Maybe I screwed that up, will double check, thanks
