How do you pronounce 'linux' ?

[Raika]

"Lye-nux" and "Lee-nux". I switch between the two randomly.

 

[Nimbus]

"Lye-nux" and "Lee-nux". I switch between the two randomly.

According to google translates speech thingy.

German: Lee Nooks
Japan: Lee Nahk su no

 

[Maid-chan]

Lee-Nux

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

I've always said it "Lyn-ucks"
(something like "Lennox")

 

[person66]

Used to pronounce it lie-nux, but then heard people saying linn-ux and presumed I'd got it wrong so changed the way I said it.

That is the exact same as me, although sometimes I still find myself pronouncing it incorrectly.

 

[signz]

I pronounce it "Lenux" (well, as a German would pronounce Linux)

 

[Man18]

OOOO BUN TOOO is how i pronounce it

 

[Shockwind]

I pronounce it as "Lee-nux".

 

[Zekrom_cool]

Ley-Nucks or Lee Nux {though both have the same pronunciation}

 

[Marlonguppy]

LIE-NUCKS


LEE-NUX

The lie-nux is a LIE!

 

[ProtoKun7]

I always say &#712la&#618n&#601ks.

If the key is correct, basically I elongate the I.
I know most people probably don't, but I still will.

Same here. Didn't think there would be many other options.....

 

[Hakoda]

I pronounce it the same way as the Wiki page did.

Reminds me of the thread where people asked how to pronounce AKAIO.

 

[Ikki]

Actually, the creator has a pronunciation audio clip here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux

I pronounce it that way.

But mainly because I'm so used to hear it that way since I speak Spanish.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

lin-ix

 

[Forstride]

I say it 2 ways...

"Lynn-Ucks"

"Lynn-Icks"

 

[Amber Lamps]

it's pronounced with a short i

you can look it up on the web, Linus who invented it recorded how to pronounce both his name and Linux. It's pronounced the same.

It sounds like the name Lynn plus icks... Lynnicks Linux same..

 

[Sausage Head]

li - like internet
nux - u like in chicken nuggets

 

[shyam513]

I settle for Lye nux.
