Arch-Based Distros Dominate the Linux Gaming Scene
Valve's latest Steam survey highlights Arch's popularity among Linux gamers, with EndeavourOS joining the list.

I've been considering these: Crystal, Archcraft, Arco, Exodia. Are these any good?
I've looked at Archcraft (not any of the others), and the only thing that seems unique about it is that it's riced (themed) out of the box and offers several DE options. Otherwise, there's not really anything that sets it apart from, say, EndeavorOS (which has a handful of DEs and a great install process) or CachyOS (which has a nice install process, an optimized kernel and packages, and as many or more DE options as Archcraft).
The other thing that gives me pause with Archcraft is the fact that it's maintained by only one person. What happens if/when they get burned out?
Theming is already an advantage, i tried theming in VM and broke the system with it. If the maintainer stops it, i'll just switch to an another one. Also, what is Cachy based on?
Cachy is Arch. They use automated build processes to optimize everything from the kernel to packages.
