Channelling Erik Dubious: “it’s ok, you see the error message, and you navigate to etsy.

This config we find is the answer. I lean into neovim this time, today, because it’s all a lessons. And then we type update, and it’s all okay!”

The thing he humbly leaves out is “why aren’t you an arcolinux fanboy yet!?”

I am like disturbed that two people thought complimenting Erik’s work was worth a downvote. Who the heck hates nice people so much to spend that.

I’m an arch contributor, your’re barking up the wrong tree.

I think the downvotes had more to do with people not knowing what/who you are referring to. Without the context that you have your comment seems like word salad.
Perhaps it's a non-native english speaker thing, but it's very hard to understand your prior post.

It looks like a bot post, from the time before AI generation actually became good. The post appears like random disconnected concepts are just thrown together with no clear context or relevancy to the topic of debugging ZFS.

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/
