I'm not a gnoblin.
I'm not a gnelf.
I'm a gnome. And you've been...
Gnooooommmmmmed!!!
Yohohoho!
I'm not a KDE, I'm not XFCE, I'm not LTQt, I'm not a Hyprland, I'm not a Cinnamon, I'm a Guh-Nome! And you have been Guh-Nomed!
borks your Linux
Its pronounced GIF
No it's not
Phonetically it's pronounced "K-D-E-is-superior"
But hey, language is protean. It evolves and flows like a river, daddy-o.
KDE MFs be like, "it's very intuitive." Meanwhile it looks like this:
You are correct. But you are missing the most important button. Right in the middle of that table there is a big red button that says "autopilot - Manage all these things for me and I can play with a few of those other buttons, or all, or even none, and the rest doesn't have to be touched by the user unless they want to"
If you add an "e" after the "G" then all of a sudden it's Science!

What the fuck is a guhnome
Wouldn't you like to guhnome
Jnome, like gif.
that's evil gnome, if written in Java
If gif is pronounced gif, then gnome should be pronounced gnome
Gi gives the g a j sound. Like gist, gibberish, giraffe, giant do at least that one is easy to pick up on.
Gi gives
You will also note that the pronunciation of gif is debated despite me saying it’s easy to pick up on.
I love how you state that as a fact as if words like give, gift, gill, gibbon, giddy, etc don't exist.
please tell me you call it JIT-HUB.
I do now.
It was a tongue-in-cheek response. The English alphabet doesn’t convey pronunciation.
It would seem gnome is the correct pronunciation. GNU naming conventions are a pipe dream.
This only makes sense to me because my aunt worked on guh-noo.
this is like the dude who invented GIF thinking everyone was going to call it "jiff". it ain't happening, broski.
Linux/opensource naming can be the wildest stuff.
Hint: :q!
