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?

The main difference is cachy has their own repos that contain packages optimized for more modern cpus, although they are optional they could potentially be a speed improvement.

Having tried both i would say cachyos is probably better for gaming and a bit more noob friendly but only slightly.
