Comment on The "i" in Linux and Linus have different pronunciations even when they shouldn't.
Draghetta@lemmy.world 6 months agoThere is nothing to debate, Linux is just Linus with an x at the end and should be pronounced as such.
Though sometimes I wish Linus had claimed it was pronounced laynaxe just to fuck with people. Too bad we already know: m.youtube.com/watch?v=c39QPDTDdXU&pp=ygUpbXkg…

Y’know the gnome/Guh-nome debate? I intentionally pronounce it Zhnome to fuck with people.

It's jee-nom, pronounced while rotating your eyes

It’s pronounced djinn-ohm, like Genome. It’s a direct reference to magic, Buddhism, and the building blocks of life.

Also remember to pronounce KDE as “kdeeh” instead of spelling it
