It is also first in the Distrowatch rank

I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

You can switch back to arch pretty easily and also just upgrade from arch. That's the real benefit of cachy is standing on the shoulders of giants like Arch.

Does that mean moving from EndeavourOS to CachyOS is also easy?

Maybe I should first look into what the difference is between EndeavourOS and CachyOS. Is it even worth it to switch?
