I'm currently setting up a dual boot with Windows 11 and CachyOS which uses KDE Plasma. I'm looking for a graphical software center similar to what Mint or Fedora offer. Any suggestions on what could work well with my CachyOS setup?

You might want to consider installing Pamac as a GUI option; it's simple and user-friendly.
From what I've read, Pamac is the only GUI for Pacman, but a lot of people discourage using it. Just something to keep in mind!
CachyOS also has Octopi, which allows for graphical package management. If you're looking to use Flatpaks, install flatpak via Octopi, then you can use Discover for managing those.
KDE comes with Discover, which is a great option for a GUI software center. It's specifically designed for KDE Plasma and should fit your needs well!
If you're up for it, just getting familiar with pacman, flatpak, and the AUR package manager is super efficient! It's really not too complicated to manage everything from the terminal. Check out the Pacman wiki for more info!
But if you want a GUI experience, Discover is your best bet, although I find it a bit frustrating at times.
