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.

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"
