Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line.

Not a graph of the Dunning-Kruget Effect. It’s actually a reverse of the uncanny valley chart. This is the Dunning-Kruger effect chart:
I think it’s the gartner hype cycle, which usually uses the same labels as the meme
Except they changed the axis to plot confidence vs competence so arguably indeed relating to the Dunning-Kruger effect, not Expectations vs Time as the Gartner hype cycle does. Same shape and steps but different idea.
Which is, btw, no real effect but just autocorrelation:
