Bad battery life and hybrid graphics problems on Lenovo IdeaPad 720-15IKB 81C7003UHV while using Linux


I really want to use deepin as my primary OS on my PC and laptop too. But yet I cant, because it doesn't support hybrid graphics (Intel UHD 620 with AMD Radeon RX 550 in my case) natively, and doesn't have official documentation about it. I know, that I can make it manually but it can be unstable (if works). Without this function it drains battery TWICE as fast as windows 10 pro. I checked the deepin graphics card manager, but it said that this hardware combination is currently not supported.

So I have three questions:
1. Has Deepin this function already but not yet compatible with my hardware?
2. Will it solve the battery draining issue?
3. If deepin doesn't support this feature, have you got any working solutions for this? (In the best case for deepin, but for elementary or Linux mint it'll be good too)
Operating system :deepin
Desktop environment :dde

Thank you in advance for the answers!
