Did you notice anything that would be worthwhile switching from EndeavourOS to CachyOS? Not having any problems is nice, but is there an actual reason and do you even notice it in real world usage (I don't count benchmarks)?
This one is just a media box and also for light gaming, some games could be a bit smoother with just a bit more performance and switching to cachyOS binaries gave it that small bump it needed in most cases. If you don't count benchmarks that are measureable and repeatable then I can offer an annecdote that it just feels better.
