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?

You should check out topgrade - it does all of those things as well. Not specifically for EndeavourOS, it can be used pretty much everywhere.

Its pretty handy, particularly if you have multiple machines to keep updated (it has a remote command too).

Why would I need a third party application, if I can do the thing with an alias? I prefer to workout what I need and only do that and write my own scripts in case it gets complicated. That's how I do stuff. :D

Sure, its not up to me to decide what you use. Was just a suggestion that others might find handy if they don't want to write and maintain scripts.
