No, it's not really. There's ACPI, but a combination of wiggle room in the standard and vendors saying fuck you to any attempt at rigorous compliance testing means that there's no way to assure that any ACPI implementation will work with drivers the vendor didn't write. The whole state of the PC industry is "does Windows boot/run with this? It does? Ship it."

Even in Windows they have to workaround some stupid bugs from the OEM or ODM side.

Sounds kinda like most web development: if it runs on Chrome, it's good enough. (Guilty myself)
