Ubuntu 18.04 battery life
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I know there are many questions on this argument, but I want to be sure that the answer for old ubuntu version can be used for this version, so this is the question, how can I improve my battery life on ubuntu 18.04? I installed ubuntu in dual boot with win10 and I've noticed that ubuntu run more frequently the fans and the estimated battery life is less then win10. I've already switched to integrated intel graphics card and I've installed tlp, what can I still do?

There are multiple power managers, and for a laptop, you may want to use laptop-mode-tools:
sudo apt install laptop-mode-tools
Many sources claim that tlp will conflict with laptop-mode-tools, so you may need to uninstall tlp:
sudo apt purge tlp
You can monitor/diagnose your power consumption with powertop:
sudo apt install powertop

The package itself implements "Conflicts: laptop-mode-tools" --> salsa.debian.org/MoonSweep-guest/tlp/blob/master/debian/control . So installing laptop-mode-tools will remove tlp and vice versa. I would not recommend using apt purge because users will loose their edits to /etc/default/tlp (in case they want to reinstall tlp). Btw: I'm TLP's author.

I'm willing to bet that your problem has to do with your nvidia graphics card running all the time, despite switching to intel graphics. That seems to be the problem for everyone running 18.04 Ubuntu and they still hasnt't fixed it...
