Expect a bunch of people in comments who will deliberately recommend default Arch

Arch

Any of them that use the Arch repos directly are probably fine. Don’t use Manjaro.

Manjaro or Endeavour.

Just base arch

Garuda

Steamos

Artix + OpenRC

CachyOS

EndeavourOS and nothing else.

I suppose that pretty much covers the full gamut.

EDIT: Here's the Linux distro family tree:

https://github.com/FabioLolix/LinuxTimeline/releases

It lists 19 still-living Arch-based distros. Disregarding category-based recommendations and looking only at explicitly-named recommendations, as of this writing, you've explicitly been recommended 7 so far, or over a third of what exist. :-)
