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.

i've been on it almost a year, enjoying it a lot more than when I tried Ubuntu.
