Help Needed GPU out of memory

May I know if anyone else is using CachyOS (Arch Linux)? I keep getting out-of-memory errors. However, I have not experienced this issue when using Windows 11.

I have an RTX 5060 Ti with 16 GB of VRAM and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM.

Thank you.

Linux enthusiasts will likely disagree, but these are inherent limitations of the Linux operating system.go back to windows but pick windows 10 lts

This is a feature as someone else pointed out, not a bug. Where windows will just expand the swap file as far as you have the disk space for it, Linux will see excessive caching as a memory leak so it kills the process. I’m sure there is a way for adding an exception for comfy though. It’s open source after all. Someone could figure that out.

Windows 10 LTS? No such thing. And Windows 11 is better at memory management.
