From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which game may I ask? Was it in an occult setting? If yes then it was likely just a generic chant and has no fascist connotations beyond it. If not then I will have to see the scene in the game to dive deeper.
Metro: Last Light
It was some scene where the player find a Nazi-esque (I don't remember the exact faction name) hideout and watches a speech in progress.
The crowd listening to the speech was chanting "Swaha x3" after every line of the speaker, kinda like "Oorah".
He was probably hiding behind walls or inside some duct or sth after having escaped some torture chamber. Don't remember that very well either.
Also, it might have been something different but similar sounding. But seemed pretty close, to me.
Oh okay. Yeah they are just kinda going “hooah.” Svaha is a generic eastern occultist topic brought up every once in a while but has no fascist meaning beyong occultism. Metro Last Light is a Russian setting so the chanting is more muddled through the accent and translation.
If I remember correctly, it actually sounds like "Su-Aha", which would be a valid way to break down "Svaha" in Sanskrit.
