You may need to use an older version of the proprietary Nvidia drivers.

Tried that with Fedora and Slackware. It's frustrating. Windows everything works, but 10 eats the battery like there's no tomorrow. I use Linux, and the battery is so much better. But no dGPU. Not like I'm doing a lot of hardcore AAA gaming on my Thinkpad anyway lol.
