i use arch btw

A phrase which lets other people know that you use Arch Linux, a difficult to use distribution of the operating system Linux. Arch provides user customization and allows the user to install specifically what they need. Used usually as an inside joke among arch users, although it can be used by elitist users to boost their ego.

I use Arch BTW

A meme/joke comming from Linux community, and more precisely from Arch Linux community.
Word "Arch" means "Arch Linux", which is a one of the Linux distributions that unlike most user-friendly operating systems Arch requires you to do a lot of things yourself, including installation of the system (or you can use "archinstall" command that installs Arch for you). That "do it yourself" part is the key point of the joke as Arch is not meant for casual users, but for those who are willing to learn how linux works and won't rely on system's help.

Think of it like: "I use Arch BTW" = "Look how advanced I am"
"What operating system do you use?"
"I am currently on Windows 11"
"That's for babies, I use Arch BTW"

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
