Honestly, I think this kinds works. Like Lignux neatly integrates GNU without awkwardly expanding it and could be pronounced the same way already is (unless you want to be a psychopath and go around saying ‘Lig-Nucks’).
But you do pronounce the g in gnu, so NOT saying it as lig-nucks would still be dropping the gnu. Plus it sounds like “lick nuts” and that makes me giggle.
