Nico_198X comments on CachyOS July 2025 Update Finally Lets Users Choose the Shell During Installation

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.

i suppose, it's a loose analogy he brought up, so i was just trying to speak his language.

the point is, the packages are different, particularly core ones. so it is not straight Arch.
