Seems to be 100% entirely different, as Asahi uses Arch, this is on Fedora.

Asahi is on Fedora now (and has been for a couple of years)

This is intended to eventually be distribution agnostic; Asahi uses Fedora and this is following in those footsteps to be a fairly similar experience.

Asahi is available in a variety of distros, too.

Asahi does not use Arch.

It formally made Fedora its official partner three years ago as I reported at the time:

It does also support 10 other distros, listed here:

(Deepin is there twice.)

Note, Arch is not on that list.
