I’m not a gnoblin.
I’m not a gnelf.
I’m a gnome. And you’ve been…
Gnooooommmmmmed!!!
Yohohoho!
I’m not a KDE, I’m not XFCE, I’m not LTQt, I’m not a Hyprland, I’m not a Cinnamon, I’m a Guh-Nome! And you have been Guh-Nomed!
borks your Linux
Its pronounced GIF
No it’s not
It would seem gnome is the correct pronunciation. GNU naming conventions are a pipe dream.
Linux/opensource naming can be the wildest stuff.
If you add an “e” after the “G” then all of a sudden it’s Science!
I thought it was either gnome (as in garden gnome) or genome (as in genetics).
What the fuck is a guhnome
Guhnome is for people that can’t make the back of the throat an nasal ng sound when saying ngnome
Wouldn’t you like to guhnome
You’ve blinded me!
This only makes sense to me because my aunt worked on guh-noo.
Phonetically it’s pronounced “K-D-E-is-superior”
But hey, language is protean. It evolves and flows like a river, daddy-o.
KDE MFs be like, “it’s very intuitive.” Meanwhile it looks like this:
You are correct. But you are missing the most important button. Right in the middle of that table there is a big red button that says “autopilot - Manage all these things for me and I can play with a few of those other buttons, or all, or even none, and the rest doesn’t have to be touched by the user unless they want to”
Nice, so I can read all I want on keto?
Jnome, like gif.
If gif is pronounced gif, then gnome should be pronounced gnome
Gi gives the g a j sound. Like gist, gibberish, giraffe, giant do at least that one is easy to pick up on.
Gi gives
You will also note that the pronunciation of gif is debated despite me saying it’s easy to pick up on.
I love how you state that as a fact as if worlds like give, gift, gill, gibbon, giddy, etc don’t exist.
please tell me you call it JIT-HUB.
It was a tongue-in-cheek response. The English alphabet doesn’t convey pronunciation.
Like the peanut butter?
Choosy moms choose gif.
I don’t know if I’ve had to say Gnome out loud before to another human person. I would go with the garden variety gnome myself.
For some reason I assumed it was G-NOME
lol
What’s the story behind /etc/ as /etsy/?
I always saw it as “et cetera”, so the “et” came naturally to me
I always read it as “et-c” to get that pronunciation
