The battery issue was strictly a software bug. A regression introduced because somewhere between upower or gnome power manager or wherever nobody could agree on the right number to use. It did work, then it didn't, because party A "improved" things, but party B wasn't ready for the improvements.

Anyway, the claim wasn't that the linux desktop can be made ready. It was that it's ready right now.
