Linux on lenovo legion 5 pro
You're probably looking for envycontrol ... it will allow you to switch back and forth between integrated/hybrid/dedicated-only graphics as needed. I used this on my 2023 Legion Slim 5 and it made a huge difference in power consumption. Now I only enable dedicated if I need it for something specific, which is rare for me. Computer generally sips between 16w-20w doing basic browsing tasks, with no other optimizations performed (this is on Fedora Silverblue)

Got terrible battery life on Linux Laptops? I got ya! (Targeted at Nvidia Users but should work for most people)
Install EnvyControl, which is a useful package that can offload applications to the integrated GPU and turn off the dedicated Nvidia GPU. This will add a few hours at least to your battery life. Distro-specific instructions: https://github.com/bayasdev/envycontrol

Fuc*ed up my nvidia settings (things zoomed on sddm/i3 + glitches)
I thus played a bit with https://github.com/bayasdev/envycontrol which is listed on the archwiiki, the problem is that now, even when selecting the "nvidia" mode and even when going back to "discret graphics" in the bios I'm encountering bugs I didn't have before, mainly SDDM being really zoomed, i3 borders being HUGE (while the rest is normal, I didn't change my config so it's likely not a DPI problem there), glitches when I first login with polybar duplicating itself and the wallpaper being broken, requiring to refresh i3 to have those 2 things fixes, picom animations are also super glitchy.
