Is there a such thing as a distro well suited for laptops? What about DEs/WMs? And what about touch-screen support?

If you're going the touchscreen route you might as well use Windows 10.

But your pic is related anon. Debian would be great because it's pretty light without going full autism about, and is at the same time stable as fuck. GNOME was designed to be very usable on both touch-screens and tradition mouse and keyboard interfaces, so use that.

In terms of hardware you're always going to be a little bit limited mostly because of ORM bullshittery, but it can be pretty good. On Arch I'm using xf86-input-synaptics-xswipe-git which lists https://github.com/diegoferigo/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics as upstream. Dunno what the equivalent is on Debian but my touchscreen works flawlessly minus Firefox, so I use the addon Grab & Drag for that (which also makes it convenient to turn on/off so I can switch between scrolling and selecting text).

Practically any distro if you set it up properly.
If something doesn't work out of the box, just install appropriate packages.
In terms of laptops, probably something more lightweight would do. There aren't any popular distros that are that bloated anyway, so it doesn't make much of a difference.
Some people might also argue that using a tiling WM like i3 could work better on laptops as it'd keep your hands on keyboard.
