Hi everyone. Maybe this isn't news to many of you but just wanted to share my experience. I finally got fed up with windows using about 1.5gb of vram. So yesterday I bit the bullet and installed Linux, first I tried Mint but just couldn't get the Nvidia drivers to work so I switched to Pop_OS. It was a battle and so many bash commands later finally got comfyui and kohya working. And OMG! In win11 for Flux Dev Q8 gguf 50 steps at 1024 it took about 1:30 per image generation, that's after loading the models another minute+. But in Linux I'm now getting image gen in 32 seconds and models also load in just a few seconds. I'm using a 3090, 12700k, 64gb . I just wanted to share because I can't belive the difference. If you haven't tried SD with Linux and have the patience to get things working it's definitely something worth looking into.
