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.
