I have started using ubuntu and battery draining is too fast as compared to windows. I heard about TLP but it doesn't seem to help.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04 as Asus Vivibook F571 with NVIDIA GTX 1650. I have installed proprietary graphic driver still I am facing the issue.

  1. Open NVIDIA X Server settings -> PRIME PROFILE -> Select "INTEL (Power saving mode)
  2. Restart the device
  3. Verify by Opening settings -> About -> Graphics

or

  1. Disable the NVIDIA driver using sudo prime-select intel
  2. Restart the device
  3. Verify which drivers are being used prime-select query

    @Shah Keep in mind you may want to do the reverse for running software that uses the graphics intensely. So your next question better not be "I'm playing game X and it runs badly" ;) – ChanganAuto Apr 22 '21 at 09:41
