The lead developer Juan Linietsky pronounces it go-dot as well, though with the emphasis on the second syllable (arguably just a matter of accent). I also prefer that pronunciation. A lot of people pronounce it as if it’s French, since it happens to have a name that’s also known from a French play (see: the other replies).

I think it’s a GIF situation. Either way is broadly acceptable (though some people gatekeep on it; see above).

I knew a keyboard player a while back that didn’t like cleaning his keys, they got slick from finger oil with use and he didn’t like the little bit of extra friction they had when they were clean.

I’ve run Star Citizen on Linux a few times (not a regular player), there was a Lutris configuration that Just Worked™ for me. There’s also the Linux Users Group for SC, which maintains some scripts for working around issues if you want to do things manually. They’re the ones maintaining the Lutris configuration too.

I did run into the same issue with Shapez 2 recently, though! A quick stop in qpwgraph to connect it to the right audio output and everything else about it worked perfectly, but it’s not a permanent fix.
