    I also used to pronounce Gnome this way.

    I’ll add I used to say “deb eye ann”, for Debian

    And used to say “uh lie us”, for alias

    I didn’t have a lot of people to talk about Linux with lol

      To be fair, Debian is a portmanteau of Debra and Ian so most people don’t pronounce it the way Ian Murdock intended.
