is there any reason to try CachyOS over EndeavourOS or are they pretty much the same? (lemmy.ml)

I'm currently on PopOS 22 and I'm in the mood to try something different. I mostly game but I do need my system to have support for the everyday tasks I sometimes need to do, so I fell bazzite is a no go.

I see a lot of people recommending Cachy, will it be a smooth experience for someone used to linux? Is Endeavour a better choice? Will I have issued with my PS3 eye camera and x52 stick?

I used Endeavor for a long time, then out of curiosity I put CachyOS on my laptop. On CachyOS, games seem to have been a shade faster, but that's it. The updates got stuck after a while, the system kept running into some errors during the update process. Not to mention that after a while I always ran out of storage space on the hard drive, I had to manually delete the limine+btrfs backups, even though it was set that the last four could be max on the vinyon. So I switched from CachyOS back to Endeavor. I like the command line and its minimalism better.
