Can I use software designed for power saving on laptops on Home PC. (not a laptop)
Or maybe someone could suggest alternative tools designed for saving power on PC desktop?
What are the other steps required to reduce energy consuming under Ubuntu?

-all the power saving options Jupiter used to be able to change are built into the kernel. - see askubuntu.com/questions/285434/… The list here is comprehensive.– RinzwindJan 11, 2015 at 8:04

Yes!
No, not needed.
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%!

Accepting the answer would be appreciated as it's 100% correct and an upvote for the laugh you had would be tremendous! ;-)– FabbyJan 11, 2015 at 21:22

1Thank you for understanding the question and not being too lazy to read it up to the end! I know it doesn't make much difference when you are using only one computer but this information may be useful for large companies using a lot of machines for business use.– MuzaffarJan 12, 2015 at 14:48

Muzaffar, the hardware used in PCs is not that different from those on laptops (and I'm old enough to remember a monitor turning itself off automatically had a big wow factor 25 years ago... (Yes, I'm an old fart!) ;-)– FabbyJan 12, 2015 at 14:50
