One thing about the Open Source community: there's no single
standard.

Take your pick. Both are widely used, and will continue to be
used, no matter what claims of authority are made.

Personally, I find myself veering between the two, depending on
how the person I'm talking to pronounces it.
============================================
That's what I'd do (i.e., take my pick). The only thing I'd add is,
once you've chosen the pronunciation you prefer, warn all
Linux snobs in advance of any conversation with them that if they
sneer, giggle, or make faces about your pronunciation,
they're liable to get punched in the nose.
