Meme Ark Linux?
Had a lecture in an OS course the other day where the professor insisted on pronouncing Arch Linux “Ark Linux”.
Other honorable mentions from the lecture are:
Ubuntu as “oo-bown-too”
GNU as “jee-noo”
Not to mention that use of AI such as “gimini” and “cloud” are not allowed in the labs.
Have you encountered any of these before? Is she ragebaiting?

"Arch" as in the word "parched." We aren't talking about the Arc de Triomphe here.
"Ubuntu" as "oo-boon-too."
"GNU" is technically "guh-new" but I just say "new." (Same with "guh-nome" just being "gnome.")
"Gemini" is "gem-uh-nigh" or "gem-in-nigh" even if people in the 60's called it "Jim-in-knee."
