Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- PikaOS is good, if you don’t like rolling release I’d go with mint or Pop.

- If you prefer something ready to game right after install and dispense from the above, Cachy (Arch-based) or PikaOS (based on Debian, same modified kernel as Cachy).
- PikaOS is as fast as Cachy, but based on Debian. Also a rolling release, but updates a little slower than Cachy.
- Otherwise, Fedora, PikaOS are quite stable.
Cons
- Pika and Anduin is hobby project, long time we can se EOL for this distros.

The kernel has some pretty aggressive optimization, may even have a slight performance edge over the CachyOS kernel. Debian sid will give you a more steady flow of updates, not quite as bleeding edge as an arch based distro but not far behind. You also will have the pikman package manager which draws from Debian, arch, fesora, and alpine repositories.

PikaOS is good for new user.
PikaOS could be a good fit. It's Debian Sid-based, so a bit less crazy on the constant update front vs something like CachyOS. I would suggest the KDE Plasma version. It's designed as a gaming OS, with the added stability and compatibility of a Debian-based Linux.
I also like PikaOS for a simple and stable distro that also has the gaming stuff set up out of the box.
Check out PikaOS.
I would look into PikaOS. It's Debian-based with all of the gaming stuff pre-sorted.
