#Survivor

"Eye of the Tiger" is a song by the American rock band #Survivor. It was written as the theme song for the 1982 film #RockyIII and released that year as a single from Survivor's third album, #EyeOfTheTiger. #SylvesterStallone, the director and star of Rocky III, enlisted Survivor after #Queen denied him permission to use their song "#AnotherOneBitesTheDust". Survivor derived lyrics, including the title, from dialogue in the film.

you are not an "exile" because windows 10 is ending support. you are not a "refugee" for installing linux either. you are not a "survivor". there are actual people who meet the literal criteria for being a survivor, exile, refugee, etc who don't get to use these words for themselves and instead have the phrases co-opted for some technological moment where someone installs a different operating system on their computer. very frustrating. we can do better.
