Put CachyOS in the first bullet point too. It's in a really good state right now

No, because they don't deviate enough from arch to avoid issues with breakages on updates. Just recently on lemmy someone was wondering why all their vlc plugins were uninstalled. Easy fix for someone who knows how to use pacman, but that and similar incidents make cachyos not really a "just works" system.

I've been using its handheld version for over a month on my Legion go and it's great.

But I installed it on my main PC wanting to go back to Arch and had to force a shutdown because my monitor is picky about being turned on after the PC and it fucked the OS. It needed to boot a live USB and introduce some command to fix it.

First time I see something like that, although I have to admit that I've been daily driving Linux for only ~3 years.
