Wish me luck. I'm a little unsure if it'll work well. I have an ancient GPU (Nvidia GTX 970) and hope it'll be compatable.

Processor		AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core (12 CPUs) Processor 3.20 GHz
Installed RAM		32.0 GB
Graphics Card		NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4 GB) (actually 3.5GB due to hardware defect)
BaseBoard Manufacturer	ASRock
BaseBoard Product	AB350 Pro4

This system is getting old; nearly a decade here. Pretty soon I have to start thinking about upgrading. At a minimum, I should try and upgrade the video card when I can.

I use bazzite on my work laptop for software development. If it's possible to do something fucked up to it besides maybe installing a printer driver, I have done it on Bazzite. If you need help figuring out the best way to do something I may be able to help.

I just got it booted, its not seeing my primary ultrawide monitor. Didn't have a second to trouble shoot. Have to go pick up my kiddos. Have you seen something like that before? It doesn't show it in the KDE display settings.

Thats weird, might be a driver issue?

Unclear. I bet its something silly. I might just need to take a closer look. I hit the desktop right as I had to leave.
