Running ComfyUI or _any_ AI stuff on Linux is a night and day difference in terms of ease of use and performance when compared against that of Windows users. Python on Windows is suffering

The pain I’ve experienced running ComfyUI on windows is from (1) pytorch and the complexities of managing it through pip when python’s platform concept doesn't encompass CUDA versions, (2) dependency conflicts between custom nodes (some of which also involve #1 because they pin a specific pytorch version as a dependency), and (3) gratuitous breakage in ComfyUI updates.

None of which Linux makes any better.

I fail to see how Python or ComfyUI would be easier to setup and use on Linux, unless we're talking about torch compile or Triton.
