title: "E-Waste Meetup"
date: 2024-05-11
tags: [events, ewaste]
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!

According to the now-defunct freshmeat.net (a large index of software
for Linux and other Unices), there are over 23,000 projects in development.
Many of these programs are Open Source and/or free.
## 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.
