In a previous post, I mentioned that I was able to get decent battery
life using tlp. I should mention that using Eco mode (which entirely
disables the GPU) in Windows, the battery discharge rate would go from
about 6w to 15w and hang around 15w most of the time. With tlp, at
first, I was able to get 6w, but it would stick around 20w.

I use NVIDIA On-Demand mode in Mint which only enables the GPU when its
services are requested. After disabling hardware acceleration in
Betterbird, Librewolf and Telegram, I am now able to get a consistent
5.9w to 7.1w. This is actually superior to what Windows would get me.

Bravo to the developers of tlp.

I'll have to look into tlp. Thanks for the recommendation.

I wonder if his system is amenable to Bumblebee (needs Nvidia and onboard
Intel graphics, I believe.)
