Who comes up with something like that? Which of the two was there first?
Or is/was it completely different?

Feel free to use your imagination, if you have one, in relation to the question of course.😉

Better, however, to juxtapose hard facts in one or two relevant short paragraphs on the topic.

People who write "I say the same thing", copy other posters or similar are disqualified. I will not give any further hints regarding the "solution" either here or via PN.

Those with properly researched facts (or knowledge) will be entered into a lottery for a 10 PSC or Amazon.
Among the fantasy contributions to the initial question, it depends on how original they are (no novels, no poems, no yt songs vids or similar).

Just a few lines, a picture to follow the thoughts, is ok.

Time until Wednesday evening around 6 pm. Anyone who was registered here before yesterday can take part. Only the first post here in the thread that is clearly formulated as a suggested solution will be judged.

Linus is an underrated all-round talent.
In ancient Greek, as the son of Apollo and music teacher Hercules, the name had the meaning 'lamenting' when he arrived in Germany in 1980. Theologians, bishops, top athletes in pretty much every Swedish league....

In Germany, he became the head of the CCC and Hamburg's luxury men's outfitter. In the top 50 most popular names since 2000. And always with a clean shirt. How does he get the shirts so clean with so much to do?

With Linux, of course.
An OS washes your shirts?
No, but the Linux detergent from Switzerland
😉👍

I think it has something to do with Linus from the comic series "The Peanuts",

Linus is a buddy of Charlie Brown and he always has his cuddly blanket with him. Of course, it has to be freshly washed and that's why a laundry detergent manufacturer named it after him

I think linus has something to do with the operating system linux which is based on Greek mythology and mostly has to do with computing

I find it remarkable that Linus read backwards gives Sunil, which is a well-known heavy-duty detergent. It was launched on the European market in 1955 together with Omo, manufactured by Unilever. However, the name Linus certainly existed before that, although it automatically carries the detergent name Sunil in itself forever.

That's the only thing so far that suddenly makes sense of the meaningless question... Clear winner for me.

I agree, there's some logic behind it.

So let me try to approach the whole thing logically:
The name Linus comes from the Greek and means "gentle" or "tender". Based on the meaning of the name, this can be linked to a detergent, as some detergents are associated with these properties. Fun fact: A son of Apollo and his muses was also named Linus. This is not necessarily the god of purity (if he even existed), but it reinforces the origin of the name and its connection to Greek mythology.

A detergent with the name Linus means nothing to me now, but why not invent one "LinusCare" or "LinusPur" for particularly gentle and delicate bed linen

I can't find the meaning of gentle or tender. Is there a source?



There hasn't been a one hundred percent solution yet.
A few more relevant facts should be mentioned. Read the four questions again carefully, one important thing is missing so far.
I hereby waive the "one post each" requirement; you are welcome to add to previous posts.

1. Why was the name Linus named after a detergent?

1a)
"He" was not. The name cannot be named after something, it names (something or someone). Something or someone can then be named after something or someone again. The name cannot.
The question of "why" can therefore not be asked.

1b)
The detergent is called Linux and not Linus. Second part of the question therefore due to the incorrect presumption * clear throat * assumption of a non-existent presupposition: also off the table.

P.S.: Since nobody named their detergent that, nobody ran Sunil backwards on the record player.

2. Who comes up with something like that?

Well HansHansHans. Obviously.

3. What was there first?

I refer you to my answers to 1. and buy a K.

Can only agree with you on all points, especially 1a). I kept stumbling over it myself. Because you can't name a name because it already exists. Stromberg also commented on this: "meaningless question". In this respect, it is difficult to build a logical puzzle on this and even more difficult to solve it satisfactorily (with research etc.). I simply noticed that Linus is the name of a laundry detergent spelled backwards. No more, no less. However, the research I did did not lead to an answer to the question of "why". Nor did it have anything to do with the name "Linus". Only why Sunil is called Sunil. The meaning of "Sunil" would then be "blue" and "radiant". The latter might be the laundry with Sunil, but that's it.


@HansHansHans
No offense meant, but that's a bit misleading and illogical.
