Comment 140 for bug 760131

I base my opinion on +cjcolella's note:

I do think that not considering battery life as a priority will make Linux unusable in the near future. Why? Just have a look at Ubuntu's interface and one of Ubuntu's major decisions: it dropped Gnome and made a whole new interface, Unity, that has one of the main objectives to make it EASY TO USE on touchscreens.

But most touch screens are on phones, tablets, notebooks, netbooks, and other mobile devices. I think nowadays, mobile devices are the most succesful on any markets and I think Ubuntu had a good idea to address the mobile users; but it's important to make the OS work at least as well as other OS's.

Why would I use Ubuntu/any other Linux (as it is a kernel "feature" aka bug) if my cool device can't be used with it?

Call me negativist, but this is a any-linux-distro-killer issue and should be shared with other distributions and insist at kernel developers. This needs a solution ASAP, before users start looking elsewhere.
