Top 5 Best Arch-Based Linux Distros in 2026 🔥

In this video, I rank the top 5 Arch-based distributions that actually matter right now in April 2026 — from performance monsters to beautiful daily drivers and philosophy-driven options.

We cover:
• CachyOS – The fastest, CPU-optimized Arch experience
• EndeavourOS – The perfect gateway to real Arch
• Garuda Linux – Gaming + stunning looks
• Manjaro – Stability and ease for new users
• Artix Linux – Arch without systemd

Plus honorable mentions:
→ Archcraft (minimal rice king)
→ Omarchy (beautiful opinionated Hyprland by DHH)
→ blendOS (declarative, immutable Arch with multi-distro support)

Which one should you install? Gaming? Performance? Learning? Minimal ricing? Developer workflow? I break it all down with pros, cons, and who each distro is really for.
