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?

When you install Bazzite you select the video card you are using and it will give you the drivers needed for that card.

I get that but like it does not let me pick 940mx and the choices under laptop seem to be desktop choices. that made me think the choices are just about a card from the approximate era but im not sure.

I would assume that they left the MX off of laptop GPUs, since they're all MX cards, until recently. Regardless, the "card of the right approximate era" thing should work, unless there are specific patches for your card, which is unlikely.

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.
