Linux pronounciation

Linux was introduced to me by a friend when I was in college but didn’t really got interested but then when I entered the corporate world my former supervisor taught me Linux.

How do you really pronounce it? I usually have students come to me for help with their ASUS EEE PC which has Linux installed as it’s OS and they would pronounce Linux asLine-uksand I still meet people who pronounce it like that and for me it sounds awkward, as since college I know that it is pronounced as it is “leenooks”.

So how do you pronounce it? I did a research cause I also want to know how to pronounce it the “right” way, well it is pronounced as “leenooks” and this is according to Linus Tovarlds himself.

“but Linux is always Linux…”
