ShredOS Disk Eraser provides a way to securely wipe disks for all Intel 64-bit processors as well as other vendors with compatible 64-bit chips. catherder9000 adds, "number of options including a USB boot drive (supports UEFI). It's nwipe, which is the linux open source of DBAN. Works great with external USB docks too if you're using a 1-4 bay one to mass wipe.

Wiping drives on ubuntu. Which tool/program to use?
As an alternative, I'd recommend ShredOS. Basically does the same thing and is much faster (aaaaaand cue the PTSD I have from having to maintain a fork of it I created for my organization after I convinced everyone to ditch DBAN).

is this "overwrite" program safe?
I am planning to donate my old laptop, I really can't afford put a new hard drive and the guy I am donating the laptop to can't. I have tried DBAN but I couldn't run it. I have stumbled upon this program which is called "overwrite". would it be safe to try it? https://github.com/ivoprogram/overwrite

How can I safely erase my data before returning my computer to Costco?
The only way to completely remove traces of your old data is to replace it. Meaning that you fill up the drive with different information so the blocks holding your previous data get overwritten. There's software that will also do what's known as a "zero fill" which basically overwrites all data blocks but you can't do that from within the OS as you can't overwrite the OS files while it's being used. Take a look at this project https://github.com/ivoprogram/overwrite
