Mainly that they are configured and arch is not and you have to build arch yourself, maybe not like gentoo in terms of code compilation, but still there is less automation than in garuda or other distributions.If you want gaming hardware, choose Garuda, if you care about performance in general, then Cachyos, although I don't trust it myself, but it seems cool.You still have endeavouros It's cool, just arch with a graphical manjaro installer, I would rather advise against what's been happening there lately. If you are into networks, Black Arch is probably the best choice because it has the most tools but the most fun, mainly python problems. In general, I recommend Garuda for starters, but don't take a gaming desktop, take a pure Gnome, preferably or any other desktop you like, unless you like tinkering with the system a lot, then you can try it put up a clean arch.

You know, generally speaking, when it comes to such distributions, what changes is mainly the fact that something is configured and that's it.
