2. yes but no, running games from an NTFS filesystem is not supported by us or valve as proton does not support it. if you want to share games between windows and linux we recommend a shared btrfs partition and using the winbtrfs driver in windows (non steam games from gog and epic in windows will not work using their official launchers like this, but they will work using the heroic games launcher in windows)

3. drivers are included in OS updates for bazzite, nvidia is still working on porting the nvidia control panel in linux from x11 to wayland (it does not have the same options as in windows)
however 90% of the functionality of the nvidia control panel in linux is just part of the "display settings" in KDE and GNOME (the desktop environment), there also is no nvidia geforce app in linux
