I'm frustrated because in my personal opinion Linux in general is getting worse in terms of user usability comparing it to Microsoft software and this frustrate me enough.
That's fair enough. I suggest to channel that energy into making things better. Not worse by being inappropriately offensive on Free Software lists.
Beside GNOME3 and poor (or totally broken power-management if you prefer) I can also add Bluetooth among the things that are getting worse or are totally broken and it is not just a frustration, but a fact!
That may be true. Very well so. Fortunately, you're dealing with Free Software. Not only can you attempt to fix it yourself, you can also hire someone to do it. Even better: You can redistribute the changes to your community. Generally though, expecting things to just fix themselves is not going to work.
If the power management problem is an hardware problem, why on Windows 7 I don't notice it? I don't know. But hypothecically, a driver can paper over the broken hardware.
If the problem is limited to just some brands or laptop model, why it is not documented into the opensuse Release Notes?
Probably because nobody did it. Are you volunteering for the next release?
I doubt instead that it is the product of big changes happened recently into Linux not just at kernel level but also inside DE (Gnome3 especially) as well as may be due to the scarce interest to develop a better power-management for laptop. I have glanced over the archives of the relevant mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-power-manager-list I couldn't find any post from you. I suggest to reach out there. In case you haven't found it yourself, yet, I suggest having a look at this page (although it seems to be a bit outdated) https://projects.gnome.org/gnome-power-manager/bugs.html https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager also looks interesting.
