OK the issue with the monitors is odd. It only likes it when the ultrawide is plugged into display port for some reason. Once I did that it detected it the monitor. I think it could be a thing with the 970. Once the kids go to bed I'll give some games a shot.
I'm on Linux Mint and I have also noticed that it feels like it doesn't play as nicely with any monitors as windows did. Just one of those quirks I guess
Nvidia cards are not great on Linux. I’d recommend “upgrading” to something more recent from amd. The 5000rx and 6000rx series pricing is going to nosedive soon if it hasn’t yet because of the announcement of driver end of life. You can pick up something for 50-100 bucks that would be miles better than what you have.
I really got to do it.

Something like this?
Same things as Edie said apply, but check out the RX 9060 XT. It's the new "budget" card that just came out from AMD. It should be significantly faster because it's 4 years newer than the one you linked and there's a few near that price point or just a bit more if you're buying new right away.
Make sure your power supply can handle the potential increase edit: this one seems to have a TDP lower than your old card, and that you have the correct external power cables (1x8 in this case. Edit: your old seems to use 2x6, so there is a difference here)
Yeah my cables are 1x6+2 connectors so that should work.
Make sure to check ProtonDB if it seems like something isn't working. Most of the time, defaulting to Experimental is fine, but occasionally some stuff will work better on an older version or with Proton-GE for games that just came out. You can still Proton-GE using ProtonUpQt which is installed by default in Bazzite.
