CachyOS is more than just a nice installer, they also have additional repos with packages built with optimizations for specific architectures and some simple utilities to make common operations easier.

It's still fundamentally Arch with extras, but I think that's mostly a good thing.

Yeah, its almost the most Arch can be customized/preconfigured without changing Arch packages.

Which is just about perfect, IMO.
