+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!

+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.
