You can also try to disable the nVidia card from the BIOS configuration (Intel's free drivers are much better than nVidia's, and I heard Intel hardware is better at video decoding too) or to physically remove the nVidia card from the notebook. In this way, you would also save energy (hence battery).
You can install the latest Linux-libre kernel and see if it better supports
your hardware: https://jxself.org/linux-libre/
