Since the headline is about gaming distros: I'm on a quiet similar OS for like 2 years now, Garuda. Also tuned for performance/gaming, arch based, btrfs etc. Biggest differences will probably be the zen kernel, pre installed gaming utils like lutris, fan control etc. and a probably less performant but highly customized default style.

Its a curated version of Arch, releases drop in with a ~2w delay. It's brutally stable. As I said, I'm running the first installation for almost 2y now, doing my updates (everything comes with GUI support) daily to weekly and I faced one single hick up so far. I resolved it on the most user friendly way, picked the last snapshot during the boot (it automatically created before the update) and it acted like nothing ever happened. BTRFS with Timeshift works like magic for these rare edge cases.

I wonder how it compares to CachyOS, will definitely test it in a few weeks on my laptop
