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
- Week 5 of issues, today I installed 3 updates gnome-maps, gnome-user-docs and something else, now Fedora doesn’t boot, come on!!!

make xorg and i3wm run on dedicated Nvidia card instead of integrated Intel card
Check out this video. https://youtu.be/Pn2iUgW3l6w . It's how I setup my graphics card. You could also use envy control https://github.com/bayasdev/envycontrol.

Ubuntu ---> Fedora. This time I really doing it.
Now, it's much easier to enable the Fusion repository and Envycontrol makes it as easy as Ubuntu to switch GPUs! I also use DisplayLink for additional monitors and there is now a 3rd party rpm for that.
- What distro is the best for this laptop?
- OpenSUSE Tumbleweed + KDE + Wayland + Nvidia

switch to integrated gpu
use envycontrol
- Using only NVIDIA

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.

Tuxedo OS on Asus laptops
Similar to FlexiCharger, but some ASUS devices seem to use ITE keyboards. Never say never, but it might need forks. And honestly, it would be better to just wait, it seems like your bug is already being taken care of: https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl/-/issues/278 Since it refers to the 2022 version and you already have the latest iteration, we can only speculate, whether it is the same keyboard or not. Feel free to open another issue there and share your systeminfos with the development team. :-)

Using only NVIDIA
If it is Asus laptop (like mine) use this

I want to disable my discrete GPU.
Have you tried supergfxctl or asusctl?

when you are building from source
Also don't forget to set up https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl

I DO NOT WANT TO INSTALL WINDOWS - BATTERY PROBLEM
You may be running with performance on all the time. If I were you I'd probably add this COPR to install asusctl and see what my CPU performance is. I'd see how it does in Balanced.
