Author Topic: ˈlɪnəks or ˈlaɪnəks?  (Read 8996 times)

I know this is kind of a boring section... so here's a kind of boring question: how do you pronounce Linux?

ˈlɪnəks (leenucks) or ˈlaɪnəks (lienucks)?

Haahahah i'm not expecting many replies.

Linus pronouncs it ˈlɪnəks (linux with the short i sounds) and you can hear him say it! Click HERE.

So i guess there was no dispute. Only boringness.

I hate this section :/ - I love my new ava that wont export at the right FPS or the right colours, it also doesnt scale well :@ (should be a little more like... this bad boy)

It actually goes both ways. Its based on Unix which is obviously "you-nix" . So many people pronounce it "linix". It was originally created by a Linus Torvalds it is also pronounced "ly-nux" so either way chief. I just say linux. "linix" because its based on unix.

YAY Replies! And yeah all the evidence points to lee-nux... I guess because Torvalds developed Linux to replace Minix and Linus + Minix = linix pronounciation of linux. and hell all the vowels are short in sweden, if you know what i mean *nudgey nudgey*. THEN AGAIN, note from my sonds byte that he pronounces his name Lee-nus instead of the even more lame Lie-nus. If people starting pronouncing it lie - nux he would be out of a sound byte career.


I still say Laɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪɪnucks ands prolly always will. Tilll i stop saying linux and start saying other words.
