Its not wrong.  Most English speakers pronounce Linus with a long i.
Indeed, people like the scientest Linus Pauling were born and raised using a
long i in their names and it would be harsh to tell them they had it wrong
all the time.  So the pronounciation of Linus and Linux is a question of
accent.  Finns say it one way; English speakers another; both are equally
valid as would any other accent.
