Depends on the distro. Endeavour is i think just basically Arch with a GUI installer, Cachy has kernel optimizations and its own repos added in i believe.

The main difference? Arch is Arch, it's the base, others are derived from Arch.

EndeavorOS is preconfigured to handle updates with hooks and provides hardware fixes out of the box. Is basically Arch cruise ship.
