If you are using Nvidia GPUs, look no further than nvOC Linux distribution.
When I was using it in the past, it was maintained by member fullzero and he has done a great job with it.
I'll still recommend looking into it.

My Nvidia rigs were so stable that I rarely spent any time troubleshooting them and they did consume a bit less power compared to Windows.
