A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

you got it!
"Windows is now an agentic OS".
Could you elaborate?
Basically they're sticking GenAI as deeply as they can into every recess of the OS, to everybody's protest, which is actually driving a push for people to move away from Windows, they're doing the best advertising for Linux we've got in ages
Your typical Linux user gets really smug when learning about dumb shit Microsoft is doing with Windows. Just like that penguin in the OP. Because that dumb shit is making plenty Windows users consider ditching Windows for Linux.
One of those things is to force-feed AI into the users. Exemplified by Microsoft seeking to transform Windows into an "agentic OS". People who don't know how those systems work don't want it; and people who do, even less.
Perhaps Linux needs a more robust software ecosystem? Just a layman here, so please correct me if I’m mistaken.
It does, but this is a vicious cycle: small market share → devs don't release Linux versions for their software → the software ecosystem is fragile → users who'd rather use Linux still need to use Windows → small market share. Anything countering any of those "links" weakens the vicious cycle, including Microsoft pissing off some Windows users; that's why the penguin gets smug, because they know "Winrows is now an Agenric OS lol lmao" means slightly higher Linux market share.
That's a very comprehensive take. So, looking at it this way, it's perhaps neither the system's fault nor the user's, but more like a 'product of its time'.
a ‘product of its time’.
Something like this, indeed. Or more like a product of the situation, plus a few laws - like network effect (the value a user derives from the OS depends on the number of users using it).
Note that not even the devs are to blame for this; it makes sense someone releasing commercial software would focus on the 70% (Windows), sometimes on the 15% (Mac OS), but almost never on the 4% (Linux).
Got it. It's spot-on.
Reminds me of how unoriginal the idea behind the show is.
Wait, don't you like Stewie?
