I’ve installed TLP on my Lenovo ThinkBook laptop and was wondering if there are additional steps I can take to extend the battery life when using the laptop unplugged.

Could you please share more tips and tricks for maximizing battery life on Linux laptops?

    Do you know if blacklisting nouveau actually disables the dGPU? It’s a work laptop so the iGPU is more than enough so I figured I wouldn’t bother with bumblebee or whatnot, but the battery life is shit :'(

      Sorry for the late reply. It sounds like it could be due to the dGPU if your battery life is terrible. I don’t know if that method would work or not. I had to try a couple different things before I eventually settled on envycontrol.
