I've been having issues with Zorin 17 on my Acer Nitro 5 with an i5-7300HQ & 1050 Ti. For some reason I am getting terrible battery life (less than 2 hours, just browsing & word processing). I checked to make sure I'm using the Intel iGPU instead of the 1050, and I tried installing tlp, but that didn't make a difference. In my battery settings it always says "Performance mode disabled due to high operating temperatures" even though every other temperature monitor says my CPU is in the 40's and 50's celsius and other components are at good temps, plus I'm running in efficiency mode. I did a clean reinstall to see if that would fix the problem, but nothing changed. Is there anything else I should try, or is this a lost cause? I really want to be able make the switch from Windows to Zorin a reality. 
Hmm ... maybe You have a Cooling Issue. In worst Case, You have to open Your Laptop and must clean it and replace the Thermalpaste on the CPU and GPU.
It's not a thermal issue. Zorin's battery app thinks my laptop is running hot, but it really isn't.
If you want to improve your battery life, you can use Auto CPU Freq. I can send you my configuration file to make sure that your battery stays as long as possible.
For the messed up battery settings, I'm not sure. But try going to the BIOS and Try changing the fan profile or performance mode. Try all the different configurations and see.
