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.

Is there a way disable the RPMFusion Nvidia driver without uninstalling?
Well then, there's this guide I know that might help you.

What's your prebuilt desktop server's idle power?
Keep in mind this isn't the native "Laptop Mode" that is available on Ubuntu (even server). This is the github "Laptop Mode Tools". There are instructions on there which you should read through. The main thing is you need to go through the config files and alter the settings yourself. Each setting has a description on what it does and how to optimise it, so you just have to go 1 by 1. I just went fairly aggressive on a lot of them, which increases latency a bit, but not massive. The worst is when you access files on the spinning drives, it takes 1-2 seconds to spin up and bring the file up.
