Slightly off topic, but there’s a review video linked in the article, in which the guy keeps pronouncing the G in Gnome with notable emphasis…
I always assumed it was silent?
EDIT: TIL
I assume it’s a hard G as you also hear when people pronounce GNU.
When you put it that way, it makes sense. However, it doesn’t make me hate it any less.
The was a GNOME FAQ that describes “guh-NOME” or IPA /ɡˈnəʊm/ as the official pronunciation, due to the emphasis of G as GNU. It does acknowledge that many pronounce it “NOME” or /nəʊm/: https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/astaff/project/aui/html/pronunciation.html
What is it with UN*X stuff and ridiculously wanky initialisms
I know a few people including my university professor who call it gee-nome, I don’t think there are particular reasons but it does emphasize the g from GNU as well as making an actual word.
This is the buggiest distro I’ve sampled in a while, the installer broke, gnome was glitching, update broke, gnome broke worse… Not production ready boys
To be fair when you download it, it warns you that it’s not production ready.
Does loading most of the same custom packages into regular fedora 39 work better?
