Currently I have only one laptop, I use it for everything and it has an nvidia gpu and a 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11800H. I have a mode which disables the GPU which i use when i am out and about. However I want to minimize battery use to a significant degree, so which out of the three should I have on? power-profiles-daemon or autocpu-freq or tlp, which is better for battery performance? I know ppd is configurable via desktop, so i have kde set to power saving mode, but I still want better if possible, is there something more i can be doing with ppd or would autocpu-freq or tlp work better?

    Best you can do for the battery is turning down the screen brightness to the lowest setting where you can still see what’s on the screen. Mine is ususally at 20-30% brightness.
