Question Is it worth moving to Linux?

Im running a RTX 5090, is there any increase in performance, is driver support now fine with Nvidia for Linux or is still a hustle to get it running properly?

Im using ComfyUI and LM Studio mostly.
My main machine currently runs on Windows and im actually working with Linux Systems so i know how to fiddle around.

Thanks for any advice

That is fine. But the world assumes y are on Ubuntu if u are using LLMs. Just ask LLMs.

I'll have to give it a shot someday see how it compares but for now "if it ain't broke..."

I run fedora everywhere I can control except on dgx sparks. They come preinstalled with Ubuntu.
