No idea, perhaps if you furnished us with some detail, someone may be able to help you

your question is akin to

" getting a new car (ford with 4 wheels), whats the fuel consumption like?"

Most touchscreens I've tried with PCLOS support single touch only, at this time.  That has, I believe, a capacitive screen supporting multi-touch.  There aren't a lot of multi-touch Linux applications yet.  If that's not a problem, then you should be OK (it will essentially be like a mouse).
You could always dual-boot, for now, and get the multi-touch stuff under W...(the shipped with OS) ;)

There are multi-touch initiatives, and I'm sure they'll work their way down into our favourite distro eventually...it's just a question of time.
