This is, if not from Real Life Comics, very reminiscent of it.

Pretty sure it’s from Serial Experiments Lain, a show I’ve heard much about but haven’t watched yet so I’m not 100% certain about this.

I have watched it and just seeing the meme has gotten Lain's theme stuck in my head.

Looks about right to me.

It is, and you should watch it

TY!

edit: Seems you're correct. however Real Life Comics had at least one strip about how, iirc, the protagonist introduced his girlfriend to Linux and the next week she was building a Beowulf cluster. The visuals were not dissimilar to this, but RLC is difficult to search in my experience.
