While I see the analogy, saying “CachyOS to Arch is like Ubuntu to Debian” with a straight face is not something I can do.
If you try to interact with an Ubuntu install like it’s Debian, you’ll get very frustrated very quickly.
If you try to interact with a CachyOS install like it’s Arch, you probably won’t even notice you are not on Arch, besides a couple of different package names.
It’s not really arch. It’s more like Ubuntu is to Debian.
EndeavourOS is straight arch repos, with one additional optional repo of their own with a few of their tools, branding, etc.
Cachy is opinionated about the OS.
EndeavourOS is only opinionated about the install setup. Arch with sane defaults.

i suppose, it’s a loose analogy he brought up, so i was just trying to speak his language.
the point is, the packages are different, particularly core ones. so it is not straight Arch.
I know it’s not a perfect analogy. It was just a first thing that crossed my mind…
doesn’t bother me, i get what you’re saying.
