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

I’ve always pronounced it Linux. Who pronounces it another way?

I've always pronounced it as "Linux". And then, one day I heard it from a native English speaker pronouncing it as "Linix", and I still keep hearing that everywhere, but I just cannot fix my brain anymore. To me it always remains "Linux".
