I've never met a friendlier group of people who are absolute snobs about proper pronunciation, except English majors who are super into Linux (arch, obv)

Now I’m just imagining that arch is pronounced unexpectedly. Please don’t correct me, I like my headcanon of “airtch.”

It differs even between Linux nerds, at least from my tiny anecdotal pool.

I say Arch like in archery, my best friend says it Arch like Arc or archangel.

[-] zloubida@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 months ago

It's pronounced “GIF”, obviously.
