That’s the thing, his pronounciation there is eerlie similar to what I’m used to spanish (where it is pronounced just as it is spelt) that my ol brain kind of does a short-circuit and can’t assimilate the fact that it’s just kind of the same thing in both languages and if it’s in the middle of a sentence I have to go back to speaking my crappy non-native english
Not sure if this helps, but in English (my native language), I would pronounce it with a short “i”, like in “sit”. You could also pronounce it with a Spanish “i” (same as Finnish “i” to my ears). I would not pronounce it with a long English “i” because the vowel length is too long and doesn’t sound right.
20 years this year and I still am not sure how it is supposed to be pronounced (in english)
it’s pronounced
gifguy over here trying to start a war

GNUisGuh-nooorJuh-nooorGee-en-yooI haven’t used Linux regularly since 2006, which either means I’m out of the loop or an ancient bearer of lost knowledge:
I think it’s “G’noo” like “G’day” or “G’night.”
The GNU project has a page on it:
https://www.gnu.org/gnu/pronunciation.html
It seems he got it correct without knowing.

Line-yoox.
Gah Nuu plus Line-ucks
“As I’ve taken to calling it”
except it’s derived from Linus’s name, which in finnish is pronounced as Lee-noos, so technically it should be Lee-noox.
In reality tho? Nobody cares
It’s pronounced like Liminiux. Lominoliux is also acceptable.
actually, it’s lomi-lominux
I just say liinus. Or liinuksi.
Loon - icks
Loin-ughs
Lean-uggs
Lin-ix
So close the lunatic then.
LIH-nucks (rhymes with “tin bucks”).
It is pronounced like that but they don’t rhyme at all
/ˈlɪnuks/
I think it’s /ˈlɪn.əks/ It’s horritic tho, tbh

It always surprises me how much the pronunciation of Finnish and Dutch resemble each other.
