From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just use EndeavorOS
Bingo! Arch with an easy installation and core tweaks almost any user needs. Then you install just the apps you want.
That said I believe CachyOS has some out of box apps that make sense for the gaming oriented user base it is usually aimed at. Not sure the performance difference is worth the hassle beyond some very specific use cases.
Cachy is literally just more sane gamer defaults. It also holds your hand with updates more then endeavour with it's updater. That would be why.
