My hot take on the official pronunciation of GNOME
We native speakers of German intuitively pronounce an audible “g” followed by an audible “n” when reading “GNOME” and find it weird that the ordinary word “gnome” is pronounced with a silent “g” in English. The cognate in our first language is “Gnom”, pronounced with two consonants in the beginning, like the desktop environment.

@schnurrito @The_Picard_Maneuver The real kicker is that GNOME is the plural form in german. "I use GNOME" sounds to us like "I use multiple gnomes", as in little enslaved guys working inside the pc.
