https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/power-profiles-daemon/ I think it's a necessary thing, of course it's up to the developers.

I've been thinking for years, how this would be a nice thing if for instance there was a way to detect if we're on a laptop

And if we could put it under a "optimizations" menu that is strictly optional.

Would that be something? I don't want to make people think we're trying to push things on them - but I do a lot of laptop installs and things like these would free up a lot of work.

Is there a better way than checking /sys/class/power/BAT*?
