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.

I always thought those whoe said susa instead of soos are wrong.

Suse stands for "Software und System-Entwicklung" https://linuxiac.com/opensuse/

Edit: Yes, she can still be wrong but then it's supported by the rest of susa's staff https://youtu.be/RsME20zXbQI&t=13

So, how do you pronounce Porsche?

[–] barbara@lemmy.ml 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

With an e like in German or a mix between e and a but not with an a

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

Certainly not with a silent e either as some people do.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

Look up germans saying bitte, danke etc. Porshe follows that, except in North America

It's always amusing to me how people never insist Renault, Citroen, Dodge, Mercedes, etc etc get pronounced exactly how they're pronounced by the locals, but for Porsche there are people who get really worked up about it.

Ummm ackshullyyyyy it's pronounced...

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter anyway. Everybody knows who you mean so long as pronunciations aren't ridiculously different. I don't particularly care about upholding brands' marketing to be exactly how they want it to be.
