New to Linux and Bazzite! GTX 1080 and Monitor Displays
Hey guys! I'm new to Linux and chose Bazzite because it looked the most user friendly, and since I can't edit the system files and screw things up it seemed the right choice! Mom and I have I have brand new system, except for my GPU which is obviously a gtx 1080. I installed Bazzite on moms new PC (exact same as mine, except no GPU) and plugged her hdmi monitor into the mobo. Her install went perfectly.
When I installed bazzite on my system, I installed the 1080, went to bazzite website to download the nvidia version of the OS, and began the install. I have one monitor and my TV for displays. I plugged all displays into the 1080, and there was no display. Confused, i put the HDMI from the 1080 into the mobo and it worked, however there was just a black screen when I was asked to select the language. I then unplugged the hdmi and displayport for my monitor worked and I could install bazzite. Now, I'm on bazzite desktop and it does not allow me to use my displayport monitor, the HDMI from my GPU does not work, and I can only use the mobo and TV for my display. Display & Monitor only shows one input and I cannot seem to be able to select my monitor. Any help would be appreciated!
(Sorry for any typoes, hard to read on my TV! :P)

Checking the install package of bazzite, I think I know the issue. Seems there is a old/legacy version of the drivers for nvidia 9xx/10xx... I think I downloaded the 16xx :/
Solved. Downloaded the legacy driver version, performed fresh install 🤣
