External Nvidia GPU

Hey all, I realize in advance the answer to this might just be "no", but is there any way to get nvidia drivers loaded in the "Handheld" bazzite image? I've got an AMD-based handheld computer but plug it in (via an exposed PCIe port) to an external nvidia graphics card. Everything 'seems' to work out of the box once I navigated my way to the desktop out of the extremely glitched out Game Mode, but I'm assuming it's probably just a basic VGA driver or something?

If the answer is indeed a hard no, is it possible to have the same user profile (and maybe even installed programs/preferences, but that feels like a longshot) accessible across two different bases? (nvidia/desktop for when I'm docked, amd/handheld for when I'm not).

Thanks!

PS, it's been a looong time since I've played with Linux, is there a specific way to get a hardware/OS/kernel info dump to assist with troubleshooting?
