-title: "E-Waste Meetup"
-date: 2024-05-11

-author: LUG Board

-
-* Date: Thursday, May 16 2024
-* Time: 18:15
-* Location: Boelter 1st Floor entrance, by the dumpsters
-
-## General Info
-
-This will be a small meetup where the fourth-year students will pass on their knowledge of the best
-spots on campus to find free e-waste.
-
-You might get your hands dirty, since we are going to be dumpster diving, but you might also walk
-away with some new hardware! Be ready to do some walking since the locations are fairly spread out.
-
-Open to all who are interested.
-
-## What to Expect
-
-There are almost always free office-grade monitors and keyboards to be found. It's also fairly
-common to see decade-old PCs with RAM and HDDs, provided that no one else scavenged them first.
-Sometimes, valuable stuff gets thrown away like oscilloscopes, Macs from < 10 years ago, CRTs, NVMe
-SSDs, and PCs from the 1980s (as featured at the [Spring Installfest](/events/installfest-s24)).
-
-The more valuable stuff could require some repairs, but it's not too difficult for a seasoned EE
-student. Actually, it might surprise you how much perfectly working stuff gets thrown out. Lots of
-the hard drives from labs don't even get wiped, and we've found adult content on them before...
-
-Your chances of finding something cool will go up the more regularly you check!

-## Is it hard to make the switch?
-
-One of the biggest concerns for prospective Linux users is whether they will
-be able to use the same programs they did on Windows/macOS. People might have
-to use particular software for their jobs, after all. Thankfully, this isn't
-such a big problem anymore.
-
-Nowadays, more and more software ships with native Linux support, including
-[most](https://code.visualstudio.com/) [code](https://www.jetbrains.com/ides/)
-[IDEs](https://eclipseide.org/), and even some multimedia programs like
-[DaVinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) and
-[Synthesizer V](https://dreamtonics.com/synthesizerv/).
-Even if this isn't the case for you, you still have options. Plenty of free
-alternatives to popular proprietary software exist (e.g.
-[GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/) instead of Photoshop for image editing,
-[Krita](https://krita.org/en/) instead of PaintTool SAI
-for drawing, or [LibreOffice](https://www.libreoffice.org/) instead of
-Microsoft Office). These programs are often compatible with the same file
-formats, too. Still, if you absolutely must use the same program that you ran
-on your Windows system, [Wine](https://www.winehq.org/) can be used to run
-.EXEs. [Proton](https://www.protondb.com/) works on top of Wine so you can even
-play many of the same PC games.
-
-Currently, Linux only holds about 4% market share amongst desktop PCs, but as
-the open source software ecosystem continues to evolve, and users get fed up
-with Microsoft and Apple's business practices, this number is sure to climb.
