Here's another to add to the pronunciation wars. RetroArch is pronounced RetroArk. Which I will die on that hill because Arch stands for either Architecture or Archive. Too many times have I heard people on YouTube make it sound like McDonald's golden arches.

The devs have stated otherwise. The project was originally announced on an Arch Linux forum, so they included a nod in the name.

I use Ark btw

[–] ieightpi@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But what does Arch stand for in that context?

[–] LinyosT@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Its the nod to Arch Linux as mentioned.

‘Ark Linux’ ?

‘March’ pronounced like ‘Mark’?

Yup that sounds good.

[–] LinyosT@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

Close enough

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The devs pronounce it like "arch."

Out of interest, how do you pronounce "sudo" (the command) and "lib" (the directory)?
