Currently I have only one laptop, I use it for everything and it has an nvidia gpu and a 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11800H. I have a mode which disables the GPU which i use when i am out and about. However I want to minimize battery use to a significant degree, so which out of the three should I have on? power-profiles-daemon or autocpu-freq or tlp, which is better for battery performance? I know ppd is configurable via desktop, so i have kde set to power saving mode, but I still want better if possible, is there something more i can be doing with ppd or would autocpu-freq or tlp work better?
I prefer tlp, as it gives me more granular control than autocpu-freq, which I have also used. It allows me to retain control over certain things like USB auto-suspend behavior (a problem with some power utilities like powertop), and the audio powerdown on the headphone jack when on battery, but which was causing popping and audio cutting in after a delay whenever I started a video or application with audio.
