A little bit ironic, if I understand the article correctly: Linux disables power management when the BIOS claims not to support it. But a lot of BIOS'es are misconfigured (intentionally) because otherwise Windows' power management wouldn't work. So, Linux - in trying to do things right - suffers indirectly from Windows' disabilities.
- FooBarWidget 15y agoA lot of hardware problems on Linux are like this. Unfortunately everybody still blame Linux.

- pavel_lishin 15y agoIf doing things right means that things don't work, then you're not doing things right.
