Heating, heavy battery drain

[theGeekyLad]

Description

My Bliss 15.8.6 is causing heavy battery drain and heating on my XPS 15 (9510). I wonder if it's because of the Nvidia GPU. I've also used the module_blacklist=nvidia,nouveau kernel parameter but no luck. I don't remember this happening until yesterday. Probably I was always plugged-in in until this week.

Also not to mention that there's no such issue on my main Arch Linux + GNOME 44 installation. The fans eventually go off and the heating wanes.

Reproduction steps

1. Boot Bliss 15.8.6
2. Notice heating, heavy battery drain, fans go blazing
