How do you pronounce Linux?

[Supernaut91]

Linicks

 

[lolwithtim]

Lin-ucks

Seems to be a mix actually, like there is with scone.

 

[Supernaut91]

same with Asus.

 

[Cosimo]

Lin-ucks.

 

[Vonhelmet]

Deb-aye-un?

Debian is named after a couple called Deborah and Ian. Pronunciation should be implicit based on that fact.

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

Linnucks.

How about LILO, the Linux loader? Do you say it Lilo as in an air bed or Lilo as in Lilo & Stitch?

 

[Sin_Chase]

Lin-ucks.

 

[DailyGeek]

I'll go with the creator Thanks chaps, seems I've been saying it correctly anyway

 

[Harvey616]

[Burnsy2023]

It's not an option. You're saying it wrong.

I pronounce it line-ucks, mainly because I'm pronouncing it in English. If you listen to that video, Linus pronounces his name in English "line-us" and it is spelt Linus which is an almost identical word structure to Linux, hence when saying it in English I pronouncing it in the same manner.

If you'd watch the whole video he clearly stated Linux should be pronounced linn-ucks!

Was always sure it was line-ucks but based on the youtube video I'll happily do a u-turn.
