ComfyUI packages always default to --cpu option, even when installed with Cuda option on linux

[drmbt]

What happened?

installing a new ComfyUI package when running StabilityMatrix on WSL2, even when specifying cuda in advanced install options (which should be the default anyhow), I always need to uncheck the --cpu option from the settings for that package. This isn't an issue on windows

Steps to reproduce

install a new package, with Cuda option selected from Advanced dropdown.
launch the package and realize GPU is unrecognized
wave fist in the air
go uncheck --cpu option from package Launch Options

We're using lspci to get GPU info on Linux devices, and it seems wsl doesn't properly report GPUs in that. We'll be improving GPU detection in the next update as well as adding an override option to choose your "default" GPU.

any updates on this? Right now every new WSL package i install, I need to manually activate venv, uninstall torch torchvision torchaudio, and then re install torch, which is becoming quite the PITA.

Also, on Linux, comfy is pretty stable these days on modern torch 2.5.1, do we need to keep enforcing old pytorch everywhere? Can we get an option to choose the pytorch version when installing the package?

GPU selector coming with 2.13.0 which should be in the next couple days. Though for the torch stuff, you can already change the preferred torch index for that specific install, or if you want, override the dependencies entirely -

We aren't specifying a torch version for Comfy though, perhaps its due to the extra index url, will take a look.

Is it possible to select stable cu118 torch CUDA index for older GPUs (https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118) ?
