Sorry, I did not know that on Linux too there are programmers who do not know anything about the kernel and hardware like on Windows

Maybe it is so, but still he can do alpha-testing, he can read the code what other people have written and learn things and eventually be helpful. Nobody is born to be application programmer. "Power management" is not something that you learn in the university, but you can learn if you WANT by experimenting I guess (with the guidance of a seasoned programmer). At least this is what I would do and so far I always managed to learn new things.
