I have a Lenovo LOQ which has a Ryzen 7435HS with NVIDIA RTX 4060, since there is no igpu, I'm really struggling on how to decrease the battery consumption. I am currently using Niri + DankMaterialShell. PPD is the only thing installed for me right now.
How do I decrease the battery consumption? I'm open to switching to cachyos kernels if it helps and other methods

most of it, yes
mystic birch
most of it, yes
Alright thank you, I'll check it out

you just got $\\LaTeX$'d received a thank you cookie!

Do you know if cachy kernels also help?
With their optimized repos and packages and schedulers?
alpine garnet
i doubt it tbh
optimizing generally means you're using as much of the cpu/gpu as you can handle
which would increase power draw
on further inspection it might
mystic birch
Hmm, alright, thank you

Is this something to be worried about?

that sounds like it would be taking up battery yeah
the video gives instructions to fix that though

Yeah fixed that, but the video says that if I have a dgpu then my luck is fried 🍤

No, this is not related to Firefox but for nvidia power saving options
Since the drivers are not open source hence you cannot configure them according to your wishes

you can still configure how programs use them
glad field
Yeah will look into that
i have the same problem on an loq as well, did you get to anything?

Not much. Most you can do is get tlp/ppd, then configure your wm or de to have no animations and stuff
And then use cachy kernels for more optimization ig

What about undervolting?
mystic birch
What about undervolting?
I could, but tbh I use Arch for machine learning stuff, so undervolting might cause issues when running a model
But you could undervolt your gpu
That might force it to use less power

uma is pretty much integrated graphics only cause it turns off the gpu
