I had the same confusion. Even without considering NixOS, "learnix" is awkward to pronounce and somewhat pretentious.

I would suggest the name "Leanix" if the author is willing to rename.

It rhymes with Minix which is the OG curriculum for a POSIX kernel, and is "lean" in many senses of the word.

In any case an excellent writeup. It's detailed enough to implement in any programming language.

Then people would complain that it sounds too much like “Linux”.

Particularly if you have learned to pronounce Linus’s name correctly.

What's pretentious about learnix?

I like the current name and already have the domain :|

I think that it's supposed to be a portmanteau of Unix and Learn.

I don't find it awkward to pronounce in the least, and not in any way pretentious.

I think the name is fine as is.

I mean, it is about learning. It threw me for a loop too but I think it's actually reasonably appropriate.
