I installed Mint on my laptop back in January this year, the Nvidia discrete gpu (920m) used to consume a lot of battery even in the background while nothing was running which I came to know of after monitoring the stats with powertop and so I blacklisted the pre-installed nvidia drivers following a tutorial and with the help of tlp I was getting good battery life (5-6hrs with WiFi off) but then this changed when I wanted to play 0AD, the game lagged a bit and so I removed nouveau from the blacklist and installed the recommended nvidia-driver-460 from Driver Manager which ran fine except that even when I set the laptop to intel profile from the prime applet, the Nvidia gpu stays active and the battery usage hovers around 7-8W which is double of what used to be prior to installing the drivers.
