Oh no. CIS Professor pronounces it 'Lie-nux.'

Well to be fair, that is probably more correct, since Linus pronounced his own name that way...

No, Linus pronounces his name with the first syllable to rhyme with, "win."

There's a recording of him pronouncing his name and Linux included with the kernel.

Poe-tay-toe vs poe-tot-toe.
Toe-may-toe vs toe-mah-toe
Gif vs Jif (Hitler says jif, just fyi)
Coo-pon vs Cue-pon
The list goes on lol

My CS professor says jigabit. (He does have a really really strong Asian accent, but it's really no big deal lol.)

Except the pronunciation of Linux is not a matter of preference or tendency. The correct pronunciation is explicitly stated by its author.

@bahua huh, I could do have sworn I'd heard it the other way. Oh well, never mind, just means I've been saying it the right way all along! :D

@jhh2450 I’m saying “jigabit” in my next meeting!

@BrainDrain It made me do a double take. I was like "What did this man just say?" Then I chuckled inside and shrugged it off.

We have a lot of professors here with strong Asian accents, so I'm pretty used to it.

@jhh2450 1.21 jigawatts!?

Just start saying “lee-nux”. Solves all problems. Because then you’re always wrong to whoever hears it.
