Yes, a mouse needs to be waked up manually every 3 seconds before you
can use it, but green drives still get waked up automatically, when they
should stay asleep. Power management is broken for Linux. Developers of
the not bloated environments pay attention, but those of the bloated
environments blame hardware vendors. However, it's not the hardware,
it's usually Linux bloatware that causes power management issues.
Getting rid of crappy Linux software and installing the good Linux
software solves such issues. However, energy-saving tools for laptops
shouldn't be installed when using the computer for real-time audio.
