Kernel Compile options, for better battery life
Try PowerPlan. It's the best solution I've tried so far. Note, Nvidia (and any dedicated graphics card) is a battery hog, so not many things can help with your battery. My laptop has a smaller battery than yours (56 watt hours) and a 4k screen, and I'm getting about 5 hours of sot, but I never install Nvidia drivers, though. Once I install it, I'm down to about 2 hours max.

Samsung notebook baterry problems on Ubuntu
Take a look at Powerplan. It literally made me love my laptop all over again. I've found it to be the best battery saving software on Linux, and I've tried pretty much everything. Make sure to read through some of the comments on the opened "issues", there is some good info there.

Battery saving on linux
I've tried pretty much everything, and found nothing better than powerplan. Absolutely the best one yet. Doesn't have a GUI yet, but it is very simple to install and configure. Default is more than enough. So, basically git clone[repo] or just download the zip file and extract it. Open a terminal there and run these three commands

How do I reduce power consumption in linux to match windows?
I might be a little late but here's what I've been using to get lower power usage. It's very similar to what window's powerplan does, and it gives you plenty options plus some extra features in regards to CPU power configuration. I guess your mileage may vary depending con system components/drivers but I get consistently lower power usage than on Windows 10 on my laptop, albeit with an Intel CPU. I hope this doesn't feel as shameless promotion or something as I wrote the program, I just feel confident in recommending it as an option.

Battery Life & Unusual PowerTop Usage?

Dell XPS 9570, fans constantly run only when plugged in
Same here. I think that's because of the battery saving measures that manjaro has which enable "turbo boost" (or whatever the equivalent is on your laptop) which cranks the CPU to the highest. You can control that via TLP(it's already installed on manjaro by default) by either going to tlp.config, download the tlpGUI, or use cpu-autofreq. I have personally been using PowerPlan for a while now, and it's been awesome. It has a config file in /etc called powerplan.config that lets you mess with the frequencies and turbo boost.

I can't use intel turbo boost if intel DPTF is enable on BIOS
Take a look at powerplan https://github.com/Haptein/powerplan . I've been using it for over a week now, it's been great. I have the same CPU as yours, except mine is an i7. This small program has a lot of controls over frequencies, voltage and many other things. The only "downside" is that it doesn't have a GUI yet, but it is very easy to configure. Read through the comments under the open issues that I have opened there, they have some pretty good info that can help you set it up the right way. I have been very, very happy with it. I have it set up where turboboost is on only when the laptop is plugged into power. Battery life has been amazing, too. You can even create profiles where certain apps can trigger turboboost on battery if you experience any lag on those apps, they are called "trigger apps".

Increase battery life in linux
This is a one man project. It's been out for a couple of day. We are only two people testing it. The battery life is now miles better than what I had on other measures (including TLP and power profiles daemon).

Completely Switched to GNU/POP_OS! - No more Dual Boots
One example would be, I had problems with running native version of Substance Designer. And it had something to do with always using GPU or setting environment variables(https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/issues/153). But I wouldn't know what to look for if a random guy on a forum didn't tell me to use it with NVIDIA Graphics.

Consistently high fan speed since moving to Void
[Update 2022-02-21] It appears that there are two packages, System76-io-dkms and System76-power. From what I gather only the first is necessary. I'm not sure how to install third-party DKMS modules that are not in the official repos. The official Void documentation on this topic is sparse, is there somewhere I can look this up?

Initially it only worked with Intel CPUs but it seems it supports AMD APUs now according to this Github issue https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/issues/73

Best practice for loud fans on a new Gazelle?
The performance modes are going to affect how much power the system is using (and thus how much heat it's generating), not the fan curves directly. Those profiles are defined in the system76-power application, source code here: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/blob/master/src/daemon/profiles.rs

Automate power profile switching depending on battery status
The script uses udev rules that are run at specific kernel events. It creates one rule for when the Laptop switches to battery power and another for when the Laptop switches to wall power. Both rules run system76-power while providing one of the available power profiles as an argument. I went with battery and balanced respectively.
