I say there's no point to vanilla Arch anymore when Arch-based distros give you all the defaults you wanted anyway, all through a comfy installer GUI. Manjaro is really good, but if you want something Arch-based, I STRONGLY recommend CachyOS:
>zram and automatic Btrfs snapshots preconfigured
>no risk of dependency breakages with AUR/Chaotic AUR (Manjaro sometimes has compatibility issues with the AUR since their repos updates more slowly. Though this doesn't really matter if you don't use the AUR)
>Uses the Limine bootloader, which is super fast
>The CachyOS repos and even the kernel use compiler optimisations leveraging new instruction sets in modern CPU's, making your system just a little bit faster
The only thing I don't like about CachyOS is that its default GUI package manager is very barebones, but you can use said package manager to install pamac—and then that's it for your post-install setup.

I suppose this is a good place to ask about it.
Anyone has experience with CachyOS? Sounds neat on paper but I don't want to waste time on installing crappy OS.

From all the "gamurrr" distros I saw this one provides the largest amount of options.
