"Leenoox", because my language has a rational writing system where 'i' is 'ee' and 'u' is 'oo'.

Line-ix (the correct pronunciation) is not listed on the poll. You're going to have to make a new poll.

Turbo-faggot autist tier.
A bleeding-heart, basement-dwelling stalker fan you are, but a linguist or sane person you are not.
>Lee-noox (and variants)
Fine because you're either European, or pronounce it like his name in his actual country like a cool faggot.
>lynn-iks (and variants)
You know how English works and how words adopted into it are pronounced.
Or you're a normal, non-gaylord who says things intuitively instead of bathing yourself in secret smug sauce for sucking some Scandinavian programmer's sweaty ballsack.

You don't just change words when you say them in the context of another language
>>53473699

>>53473699
There is a recording of Linus Torvalds pronouncing this. Google it. This thread should not have been started, you lazy trolling fuck.

>>53478443
Line-ix is literally the correct pronunciation you raging faggot.
>GNU
ʒe ɛn y
>Linux
linyks
Cause I'm a FrenchFag and have a strong accent, so if I pronounced it Line-ix I'd sound like a retard
>>53483726
> be a Swedish-speaking Finn named Linus Torvalds
> your first name is pronounced ˈliːn.ɵs by yourself and everyone you've ever known
> write a UNIX clone
> being a huge egomaniac faggot, name it Linux after yourself
> pronounce it line-ix
makes perfect sense.

Hello my name is Linus Torvalds and I pronounce Linux as Linux.
>>53473699

>>53483863
It won't be big and fancy, like minix.........
>>53475445
hey wait a minute, thats a whole lot more than 2 syllables. You tryin to pull a fast one anon
>>53483863
Linus didn't name Linux you pleb, even a autist knows that
>linux
>>53485996
Torvalds came up with two alternative names: Freax and Linux. Anneke decided to go with the latter as slightly less cringeworthy. Only "a autist" would argue that means "Linus didn't name Linux".
Luu-nix
>>53486486
Oh shit nigga? Really? Did he really come up with that? I know that you probably read it on a wiki page but my brother (my source) actually knew him in the 90's and also Linux was suggestion to Linus at some geek party or whatnot.

Yeah, well, my brother (my source) actually knew your mother in the 90's and she was giving a great head at parties and whatnot.
Lin-ucks
Lin as in lint
>>53486611
Sounds swedish if you pronounce gnu as one syllable. Or is it Liguhnoox?
>>53486625
I was born in 92 and my mother died 3 months after my birth, so sure bitch, I bet she did.
>>53486658
> implying 1990, 1991 and 1992 were not "in the 90's"
I know most people are trolling, but to the communists who speak non-American languages, this is how you actually pronounce it.
