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

Back in the days when it was first released, I'm sure I read that it should be pronounced "Susie". That's the way I've always said it.

It's German, and you're about as right as anyone trying to say a German word in English can expect to get.

The german low e can be found ≈ the same in "v a cation"

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.
