power-profiles-daemon package should be installed by default
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*?

Maybe checking the lid?
/proc/acpi/button/lid Original answer
Or checking if battery is present and ask permission to install?

I just installed arch for the first time and I am really pleasantly surprised that my KDE desktop has everything working OOTB while simultanteosly being pretty much bloat-free (I consider pre-installed VLC and vim (dont know what that is) bloat). I think power profile daemon was the only thing missing and when i login it uses like an old school login screen. +1 for including a package which doesn't bloat the app list even (unlike vlc, vim etc.).
