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'm not sure, but they might be talking about Discover, the Plasma software installer. It doesn't manage arch packages but can be used for flatpaks.

Yeah, I got my vm up and running to try it out. Because i'm on xfce I don't even have that by default. For a second I thought I was crazy though lol.

They could install octopi or that one other alternative for a pacman gui, same as cachy has preinstalled. It's fairly barebones though.

CachyOS has cachy-update which is still a terminal window for updates but has a tray config and will be there to let you know when stuff changes. I don't remember where I saw it though, the updater tray wasn't default.

eos-update seems similar on the surface and they have eos-update-notifier for a tray update notifier. After installing the thing though it's anything but the same. It's very user-unfriendly compared to cachy-update. I shouldn't have to dig for a man page to configure an application with a gui presence (tray icon) imo but i'm being nitpicky.
