I need system76-power to disable Nvidia dGPU on a laptop because it completely powers down the Nvidia GPU, helping with temperature and battery life
https://github.com/xulongwu4/nvidia-optimus-manager
I tried the methods listed in the above github repo, but my laptop is still hotter than it was with system76-power on other distros
So I managed to compile and install system76-power https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power
but at the step where I use the program to switch to integrated graphics only mode, I get the following error:
➜ ~ sudo system76-power graphics integrated
setting graphics to integrated
daemon returned an error message: "failed to execute update-initramfs command: No such file or directory (os error 2)"
Any help would be appreciated. This program is the only thing keeping me from using this wonderful distro.

Model - Asus Vivobook X542UQR
CPU - Intel Core i5 8250U with Intel UHD 630
GPU - Nvidia GeForce 940MX
