well, it's usually just an `apt install` or `pacman -S` away. I don't think that distros are optimized for laptop use cases.

Some distros don't offer a laptop-optimized build explicitly. But many times this is because the optimization is performed as an automated step during the installation process.

That said, some popular distros do offer laptop modes during install. Off the top of my head, I think Ubuntu and Gentoo do.
