[Image description : 4 Panel comic. Panel 1: A Dora the explorer ripoff wearing a fedora and with the fedora logo on her t-shirt is smiling at the viewer. The caption “Fedora the explorer” is over her head. Panel 2: She speaks to a vaguely anthropomorphic chameleon: “Hello Opensuse !” He replies : “Hi Fedora!” Panel 3: OpenSuse Says: “Someone has been using your code while not freely providing theirs despite the GPL licence!” Panel 4: Fedora “Hmmm… Who could it be?” A fox wearing a red hat emerges from a bush in the background.

I really like that post!
It seems like OP put a lot of work and creativity into the meme, while intelligently criticizing a problem and not just using “Windows bad hurr hurr” as the base.
I wanna see more of those kind!
Agree, tho this is a cartoon, which I guess these days might be a subset of meme, but wasn’t always. Anyways, kudos OP.
Thanks! Now, to defend the memeticity of my creation:
A cartoon can be a meme if it contains memetic elements that get reused across several memes by different creators (cf: the rage comics).
This comic contains text. Languages and alphabets are memes. Therefore, it counts as a meme.
Checkmate.
(Also, since “meme” comes from the greek word “mimeme” (to imitate), including an imitation of Dora the Explorer is also memetic; even moreso since it’s been done many times)
(Also, given the way it spreads through sharing, copying and modifying, Linux can also be considered a meme. Since the sharing part is mostly through the internet, it fits an even narrower definition of “internet meme”, therefore a cartoon about Linux can definitely be considered a meme)
Sure, artist gets to choose… I guess this is an example of cartoon being a subset of meme then, on the internet even :)
Not to be mistaken with lady Integra the Explorer, a once kinda famous movie star that regards herself as beautiful. Is also a zombie now, and (still) blue.
Have you taken a look at c/politicalmemes ?If a humorless poorly constructed wall of doomerism text lamenting the flaws of modern capitalist society counts as a meme, just about anything does these days
Yeah, where the cartoon series??
Thank you!

A fellow potassium enjoyer, I see.
I also enjoy mentioning windows being shitty without needing to cite sources. Sometimes you can just have decades of life experience and others can nod because they know you’re right.
On the other hand, I do NOT enjoy weird phrases based on mocking the mentally disabled while also talking shit about people who have loads of valid reasons for hating the output of a hugely shitty corporation.
But yeah, bananas are fine too ;)
An actual linux meme
Un verdadero meme de Linux
Amazing
Yeah, someone on Lemmy has remembered about OpenSuSE
Omg right?
I was excited just for that, but then also the comic made me laugh as its actually really well made.
There’s at least two of us
OP, can I get a tagged version of this so I can freely send it around while properly crediting your work?
Thanks! I’m not used to tagging my memes, and I wouldn’t have minded you sharing it without tag, but it’s a nice idea! Here, I put my username on it (it’s pretty much the same I use on Newgrounds, Tumblr and Mastodon, though I don’t have a big following on any platforms and I haven’t posted that specific meme anywhere but here for now).
Fedora no swiping!
Red Hat is the swiper here
RED HAT DON’T TOUCH THAT
RED HAT DON’T TOUCH THAT
Are … Are there any more of these?
And does OpenSuse use a tumbleweed as a transport system?
Would have been even better if the wolf was wearing a black hat and holding the red.
That’s not a wolf, that’s Swiper the Fox. Swiper no swiping, Swiper no swiping, Swiper no swiping!
Damn, I was wondering how Firefox tied into Red Hat shenanigans. I am officially old, and pinning the blame on this post.
I must have seen or heard every episode of Dora the Explorer when my kids were little. The other ear worm I’ll never get out of my head is:
