Slightly off topic, but there's a review video linked in the article, in which the guy keeps pronouncing the G in Gnome with notable emphasis...

I always assumed it was silent?

EDIT: TIL

The was a GNOME FAQ that describes “guh-NOME” or IPA /ɡˈnəʊm/ as the official pronunciation, due to the emphasis of G as GNU. It does acknowledge that many pronounce it “NOME” or /nəʊm/: https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/astaff/project/aui/html/pronunciation.html

What is it with UN*X stuff and ridiculously wanky initialisms

I assume it's a hard G as you also hear when people pronounce GNU.

When you put it that way, it makes sense. However, it doesn't make me hate it any less.
