ComfyUI memory issues on Linux contrast with Windows stability

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user experienced significant memory management issues and frequent crashes when running ComfyUI on Fedora Linux, particularly with Rife interpolator and certain upscaling methods. These issues contrasted with a smoother, more stable experience on Windows 11 using the same hardware (32GB RAM, 5070 Ti). The user suspects Out-of-Memory (OOM) errors are the cause and is seeking to understand why Linux handles memory pressure less effectively in this context. AI
