From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I read on PC, how can I save power and make PC last longer by under powering the PC ?

On Windows I put max CPU state to 1%, PCIe and WIreless Power to power saving mode.

Also related question, How to disallow software from inhibiting power management?

You can use cpupower to enter different states of power limits. The link is to the arch wiki but I'd bet it's in your package manager for you to install.

Not sure about the second question.
