The "i" in Linux and Linus have different pronunciations even when they shouldn't.

If that's the case, maybe he's addressed why they are pronounced differently.

He has. The pronunciation comes from Finnish. How to pronounce it. See how it's similar with the Finnish accent?

He also pronounces the "i" the same in both words. So I guess it's because of his Finnish accent? Hey OP! We have your answer!

He has a strong Swedish accent on how he's pronouncing his own name though
