tabtitle: Farewell to Windows Tour 2015

<h1>Farewell to Windows Tour 2015</h1>
<p>It has come time to bid Windows farewell. Once upon a time Windows was
the only digital world I knew. It began when I was young, during the
venerable 3.1 era. I remember booting up our family computer into DOS, and
before starting Windows I could start Doom 2 or Keen's Dream, or any
number of other games. That was my first interaction with a command line.
My, my, how times have changed.</p>
<p>From Doom 2 and Keen I went on to Baldur's Gate and Battlefield. I
dabbled here and there in NES/Sega/SNES/Genesis stuff, but PC gaming
always held my attention. The only exception to this was my Gameboy with
Pokemon, because that game is literal crack to a 12 year old. Baldur's
Gate held my attention like only a classic RPG can, and I remember
pouring over the manual and this guidebook I had to learn as much as I
could about the world the game created. Around this time I was also
getting into Dungeons and Dragons (Satan's game!), so there was a
definite mixture of digital and tabletop gaming. Battlefield, on the
other hand, was introduced to me by my good friend Rob, and became a
classic among my group of friends. Then, of course, Smash Bros became
a thing and that was our game of choice. That and Soul Calibur; ah
memories.</p>
<p>It wasn't until relatively recently that I ever even tried gaming on
Linux. My senior year of high school I was introduced to Linux by my
friend Ben. That spawned the interest, but it was always secondary to
my true love of computers, gaming.
