Mine is dirty without a doubt. It is not possible to keep my computer clean. How does one keep a computer clean?
I have approximately 1 terabyte of anime on my computer.

Keep your table clean, daily, wipe it with a cleanex to take the dust off. Each week clean the vent filters. Have a pc case with dust filters. Blow the dirty out of components with canned air andor brushes and change thermal paste yearly. Don't keep your pc on a carpet, wool or the floor. Don't eat at the pc. Just the basics. I am sure there are in depth guides on youtube. Go for it.

Oh very clean, nothing but cat pictures😇
The outside of it is terrible though, it's old, worn out and little used anyway so I don't bother cleaning it.

Having little disk space helps learn how to optimize/compress/delete unused. That's if we're talking about the OS part of it. As for the hardware, just dust it every day and you're probably good. You might want to fan the insides every now and then if you have a chance, though...

Mine's moderately clean.

A bunch of dry white stains all over the screen and keyboard. Don't know why they're there.

The inside of my PC is fairly clean. I cleaned it yesterday.

Speaking of my table, on the other hand... oh dear.

But this topic reminds me of another topic I saw on here in the not too distant past where someone talked about cleaning their keyboard with their spit lol. Actually disgusting.

Positively filthy. Like, the screen, the computer itself - the keys - it's *really* bad. The thing is, I try to clean it semi-regularly but I guess even I can't keep up with my gross, sweaty fingers.

@waferish

Man I am SO glad someone else remembers that thread! Yeah I wish I could find it lol. I did a quick search and didn't see it.

The guy had posted a picture of his keyboard before and after. Before it was COMPLETELY COVERED in some kind of residue. And then his after pic was... a little better... but he said he cleaned it with his spit, which means he slathered his spit all over the whole frickin keyboard. Yeah, gross.

I couldn't bare to live with a nasty keyboard but the first reply tells you everything you need to do. It's not complicated and if need you can take it down to a repair shop or where you got it from if you don't feel comfortable replacing some parts like the thermal paste.

Haven't opened it up in a long time, so I'm assuming it's pretty dirty in there. Might even have something living in it by now. 😂

This thread is giving me flashbacks to that one user who had an extremely grimy keyboard.

My laptop at one point had mold growing on it because I used an ice pack to keep it from overheating but accidentally left it there and the condensation grew mold which I cleaned off with alcohol but the alcohol damaged the plastic. Now it is just dusty because due to damage it has I have not used it very often. All my other stuff is pretty clean though even sanitized with a UVC light.

I appreciate that you took a minute to shoop in a screenshot of the thread lol. This pic was funny when I saw it for the first time 3000 years ago and is actually still funny now.

Especially the empty yogurt containers... Like the guy thought, "this healthy yogurt will definitely offset my alcoholism and chain smoking."

For the most part, raw audio files, 3D models, textures and their cache files. Those take up a lot of space.

The only way to keep your computer clean is to install Windows. Linux dirties your computer up and gives you malware. Are you listening, DesuMaiden? You need to take that spyware you call linux off your computer and install Windows 11 w/ copilot. Then your computer will finally be clean.

@lucjan sorry, I am sticking with my Linux OS. I don't trust Windows 11 one bit. It is too privacy-invasive.
