"If you're either a fan of Arch Linux or are curious about the oft-lambasted-for-being-too-challenging distribution, then you may know there have been several distros spun off the original with the intent of making it more accessible to more people. One of the most popular of the spinoffs is Manjaro. For the longest time, Manjaro was considered the best option for those wanting to try Arch, but not having it in them to use the archinstall script."
"CachyOS is lightning fast; faster than most operating systems you've tried. If you want to gain even more speed, you can opt to use the XFS file system (which is chosen during OS installation). Although using a journaling file system for a desktop OS is certainly a different choice than most distributions would make, it works for CachyOS. Remember, XFS has been around for decades, so it has the maturity to deliver on both desktops and servers."
Both CachyOS and EndeavorOS are Arch-based Linux distributions focused on making Arch Linux more accessible to a wider range of users. Manjaro historically led that niche, but newer spinoffs now compete. CachyOS emphasizes performance and responsiveness, offering an option to use the XFS journaling file system during installation to boost speed and resilience. XFS has long-term maturity for desktop and server use. EndeavorOS aims similarly to simplify Arch for users but takes a different approach. Both distributions succeed at easing Arch usage, are available for free download and installation, and differ primarily in performance focus and user experience.
