You are correct. I really wasn’t aware that talking about famous linux people was such an inside joke in this forum. My bad (sincerely.)

I have a feeling this person is not all that famous, and it may not have helped if you meant Erik Dubois. Searching for "Erik Dubious" didn't yield much, but neither did the correct (?) search

Edit: while Twitter followers is not a great metric for popularity, I wouldn't expect someone with 788 followers to be a household name

It was indeed an autocorrect fail. I thought someone would know what I was talking about. I can see now how linguistically ambiguous my comment was. Yes, I was promoting arcolinux. It's a fun and educational arch derivative. I really didn't know it was so obscure. I did not intentionally misspell the name dubois as dubious. That was my device, and my inattention ;)

I had never heard of him before. I'm curious what he is he famous for?

Apparently, ArcoLinux, an Arch derivative: https://arcolinux.com/
