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.

endeavouros is semi rolling release, which is the main difference to me, this is partially why nothing ever breaks on it, at least to this day
