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.
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.
You probably did but, there are two Nvidia entries. I’m assuming you downloaded the one under Modern GPUs because it makes sense for your main PC, but a GTX 970 would need the entry that is under Older/Legacy GPUs.

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
