From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Strangely when I look at bazzite for my laptop it asks about my graphics drivers but it seems to list desktop drivers. So my laptop has a 940mx. Can I use the bazzite for gtx 9xx given its the desktop driver for the same time period?

If you select laptops, Other laptop, Older/Legacy GPUs, Nvidia (GTX 9xx-10xx Series), it recommends: bazzite-nvidia:stable

Which is the image that bundles the proprietary Nvidia driver for your laptop. They don't need to know the exact model, just the generation.
