So let's get this right: How do you pronounce Linux.

Linnucks or Lineaxe

Was talking to someone today and his 'lineaxe' threw me a lot.

I pronounce it like "shit." Lmao

Nah I use linuucks

Just like Linus but then with an x

The first one, linnucks.

Leenoocks

@ruhe Exactly! Gotta be different!

🤦🏼‍♂️

@Jilano This is the german pronounciation, so I am not _that_ different

Linnix

Although whoever said “Linus” but with an x now is changing my mind, that’s probably the “correct” pronunciation

I pronounce it "U nix" because I like to remind myself I am an old man at heart

Yeah Polish pronounciation is Linuks which sounds like that: lɪnəks

Honestly that old English fart saying lineaxe (which he also repeated 3 times) and saying so in an impertinent tone trying to correct me threw me off.

And most he does on his MacBook is ringing my extension asking me to fix it.

@irene "I'm sorry to tell you that, but your mother and I lied to you since your birth. You're actually German, son."

Hopefully I'm not alone here but I pronounce it 'lin - ix'

/'lɪ.nəks/ according to Wikipedia.. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe... is how Linus Torvalds pronounces it apparently.

Personally I tend to say it as Linnucks, but it seems like my pronunciation is wrong :/

@Condor He says Leenus not Leyenus 😐😐

That bothers me.

@Stuxnet it's not an english name

@rEaL-jAsE He's your neighbour, mate!

@Ahzed11 Thought about that too, but since I'm not proficient in the phonetic alphabet, I have no idea.

Edit: It's apparently like this: \li.nyks\(in French, mind you)

For the English speakers, you have to pronounce the "U" like in "du". Remember the "omelette du fromage"? Same thing.

Dutch (main language): Leeennnux
English: linnnnnux

I think that Linus said that both are valid, probably to prevent yet another open source software war.

@rEaL-jAsE nah mate Aussie through and through

@lxmcf @rEaL-jAsE "Now kiss"

@Jilano *prepares long sloppy kiss*

You two... ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)
