Notably you never used to be able to control the voltages and clock rate of an nvidia GPU in linux, this was through vendor software (tracking malware) on windows.
But now (progressively getting more and more support since lat 2024) there are hard-coded tools that are easily accessible in Linux to monitor and modify the running hardware. What's more is that it's more and better than windows because it gives you specific, granular control of the hardware. I can limit my GPU to 473 watts if I'd like - rather than the standard 575 that can peak over 1000 watts - or 407 etc.
