Energy Saving on Ubuntu PC's (not Laptops!)

Question

1. Can I use software designed for power saving on laptops on Home PC. (not a laptop)

2. Or maybe someone could suggest alternative tools designed for saving power on PC desktop?

3. What are the other steps required to reduce energy consuming under Ubuntu?

Answer 1

1. Yes!

2. No, not needed.

3. Easy: just type the following command to get a list of all power-related applications in the Ubuntu repository:

    apt-cache search power | grep --ignore-case --invert-match powerful | grep --ignore-case --invert-match powerpc | grep --ignore-case power  
   

Free extra: Turning off and unplugging your PC not only reduces its power consumption to 0% but also raises its security level to 100%!
