I was today years old when I learned that it’s pronounced Linux (lyn-ux), not like Linus. I’m crushed. I was picturing the Peanuts dude with his blanket. The world is bursting with disappointment.

How would is be Linus 😂

From Linus Torvalds

I’m sure he’s cool and all but someone needs to tell him he’s pronouncing his name wrong!

His surname is bitchin too.

Cheer up, the mascot for Linux is a penguin named Tux. He's pretty cool 😎

Now that is a spirit lifter for real! Followed.
