Hi there, what version of Linux do you have, is it Ubuntu ?

 

[froot]

I say

Ligh-nucks

Indeed.

Now we just need to teach the Pommies to pronounce it too...
Listened to a Mint podcast a while ago and I crack myself up laughing....

U-bantu

 

[milomak]

I think my way is right lin-ux just sounds stupid.

Not so much given it comes from Linus

 

[WPD]

Not so much given it comes from Linus

+1

It does sound just a bit silly though

 

[Sbudah]

I was told it is pronounced laai-nieks but apparently in Afrikaans that means something else.

 

[Jabberwocky]

why don`t they just spell it linix then? Used to say line-axe until a few years ago,

 

[copacetic]

I say

Ligh-nucks

I've just realized that this is what I say in my head, but what I say in reality is li(d)nix.

There's no such thing is "Lie-necks" or "Linnecks" or "Lea-necks". Saying these is even worse than Americans saying "You-bun-ta" for Ubuntu.

It is pronounced "Linnucks".

Linus Torvalds gives the definitive pronounciation: WAV, MP3, OGG, AU.

[blaaislaai]

Lie nucks , is how i pronounce it

 

[koeksGHT]

I say line-ex

Just feels more natural to say

 

[AirWolf]

What does the name matter as long as it works .

 

[rorz0r]

I know Linus pronounces it like linnucks but I still say it like lie-nucks. I don't get where other funny pronounciations come from like lie-nicks or lie-noocks etc.

 

[wily me]

Le-nicks

But I am wrong! From the horses mouth.

same

I don't get where other funny pronounciations come from like lie-nicks or lie-noocks etc.

I am guessing it is the close association with Unix. Hence people probably think Linus + Unix.

I swear these guys do this just to screw with us.
