Attached powertop images. I'm not sure how accurate powertop's values and distributions are. With prime-select intel, the total estimated power remains high although it doesn't attribute it to nvidia. bbswitch also stays on. I've also attached a bbswitch off capture after prime- select intel. That actually seems to turn the gpu off. There's also a default capture with nouveau drivers (i.e., the nvidia gpu is not in use). There are a few other issues with prime-selct too. prime-select intel glitches the lightdm login screen. You can't see the text entry field. prime-query is also not accurate always. Sometimes it says it's nvidia, but nvidia drivers are not loaded.
