There's no simple/easy way to disable the touchscreen in Linux distro's, too.

If you're okay with scripting it, you could just `xinput disable ...` the touchscreen's input device.

You can just turn it off in the BIOS.

Find the touchscreen id:

> xinput list

Then:

> xinput set-prop <device-id-here> "Device Enabled" 0

Can add it to .bashrc

Isn't the touch screen supported by a kernel module like in previous generations? If so, it could be blacklisted, inserted/removed or deleted...
