Few question before trying to switch to linux on my notebook
I'm decently sure it doesn't turn off completely in Windows either. There are ways to completely disable it, but I'd say it's not worth the effort as it only saves a tiny amount of power. If you still insist on manually disabling it, check out this repo.

The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've ever used
> How did you "power down" your nvidia card?
First I made sure X was working the way I wanted with Intel graphics. There are a handful of ways to do hybrid graphics on Linux, depending on what you want to be able to do, and how old your hardware is. The Arch wiki has some pretty good guides [1] that are helpful even if you're using a different system.
bbswitch seems to work on my system, and the interface is really simple [2]. But there's also this page on the acpi-call thing [3], which suggests that bbswitch is old and unmaintained and that newer systems do something different. From a quick scan, it looks like the Arch wiki also mentions this approach.
As far as drivers go, I know everyone likes to dump on Nvidia for their closed source mess, but in every system I've used with Nvidia hardware (desktops and laptops), I've found that the Nvidia drivers have universally been more reliable than nouveau, so that's what I use.

I also get 7-8 W on my laptop and I use bbswitch with the nvidia drivers. I have made some shell scripts specifically for this: https://github.com/threadexio/custom-optimus
