From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Because you are assuming everything should be pronounced as in English. Names can be in any language. It's on you if you assume English phonetics.
Dude, I speak like four languages. It's a dumb name in my opinion.
And I speak three and am learning a fourth. It's just a bad name.
Care to explain why? If it's objectively bad, you should have objective evidence for it. Do you?
No
So you're spewing nonsense. Good to know.
That opinion probably has a reason, does it? What is it?
