Do you mainly play games? -> bazzite, nobara
Do you want to get to know your system and read package updates on a daily basis? -> arch
do you want to control your system? Nix
do you want an end user system? Fedora, opensuse or mint
do you like pain? -> ubuntu

Put CachyOS in the first bullet point too. It's in a really good state right now

No, because they don't deviate enough from arch to avoid issues with breakages on updates. Just recently on lemmy someone was wondering why all their vlc plugins were uninstalled. Easy fix for someone who knows how to use pacman, but that and similar incidents make cachyos not really a "just works" system.
