I'm asking whether it's more like "arch with some custom spice" or rather something vaguely similar to arch like "ubuntu is like debian". I tried manjaro long, long time ago and can't remember much more than using AUR being mess due to not really being arch...

    It's not really arch. It's more like Ubuntu is to Debian.

    EndeavourOS is straight arch repos, with one additional optional repo of their own with a few of their tools, branding, etc.

    Cachy is opinionated about the OS.

    EndeavourOS is only opinionated about the install setup. Arch with sane defaults.

    While I see the analogy, saying "CachyOS to Arch is like Ubuntu to Debian" with a straight face is not something I can do. If you try to interact with an Ubuntu install like it's Debian, you'll get very frustrated very quickly. If you try to interact with a CachyOS install like it's Arch, you probably won't even notice you are not on Arch, besides a couple of different package names.
