Arch is also just objectively better then every other option again if your goal is first and foremost gaming. Because it has by far and away the best support for new hardware and nearly every third party community tool for every game ever is on the AUR and every gaming community with modders ONLY support arch basically because of it.

EndeavourOS uses Arch's repos first and foremost, with additional stuff from their own repos on top of that, so it gets both the new hardware support you're praising, as well as AUR, and on top of that it's easier to install and maintain.

I second this, endeavor is for all intents and purposes exactly arch with some extra branding, but what I really like about it is that their community forums are great, so if I run into a problem I can ask in endeavor forums, and if they don't have a solution I can ask the tech gurus on the arch wiki as well.
