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.

You said you fail to see how it would be easier, and then you gave examples of things that are easier.

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.

You just making stuff up? ComfyUI just works on windows.

It works great until it doesn't. Wait until your dependencies require you to change torch versions, or a comfy update requires dependency changes, or you have to change CUDA versions.

Solving these problems (and avoiding them in the first place) is a lot easier to manage on a Linux install.
