If you were meaning software then the question is why? Dust and dirt don't effect it...

So hoŸw do you expljèèain the àÇ dust in my firÄkefox?

as a former hardware techinician, be careful with the vacuum cleaner near sensitive electronics.
Many vacuums with their all plastic construction can build up static electricity.. and ESD damage may or may not be apparent at once - or may come back to cause trouble later

At work we got a ESD safe portable unit for such use:

Having been and still am a hardware technician for more than 60 years, hang on to the metalwork of the computer and around the sucking end of the vacuum cleaner if you are so worried.

And yes, I was cleaning out a very dusty computer yesterday, an HP.

I always use a ground strap, wrist to chassis, when I do anything inside a computer case.

Cleaning? Absolutely, definitely, Yes.

Switch OFF, remove the power cable, take the cover off and with a good strong vacuum cleaner and brush, clean all of the dust out of fans and heat-sink grills. If compressed air is available possibly a better way of doing it.

If you were meaning software then the question is why? Dust and dirt don't effect it, it isn't windows which need cleaning often.

What does your command of sudo fstrim -va do different, if at all, that my previously posted command of sudo fstrim -av doesnt already do ???

Sometimes people apparently think this forum is a write-only medium.
