* 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.
