Disable bad audio device and reset crackling sound
Another issue I saw in 3.5 and before was crackling sound (in some games), after sleep/resume. I saw this in Elden Ring and couple of other games. Looks like resetting pipewire program seems to fix this issue. You may have to add a terminal program to steam, switch to "Nested Desktop" or use decky plugin to execute following bash commands.

Adding Custom Art to Non Steam Games
Use SGDBoop in a browser with steamgriddb. Go to this page https://www.steamgriddb.com/boop and follow the instructions to set it up. Once it's up and running you just find the art that you want and click a little plus icon and SGDBoop does the rest. You have to restart Steam for the changes to take effect.

Problem with SteamGridDB
Hello everyone. So I have been using sgdboop app for changing game art on steam and it worked great for a while but today i tried to change art for a game and when i click the + button on the art the open-xdg dialog opens in the browser as usual but when i click on the open-xdg button nothing happens (its supposed to ask me what game i want to apply art to). I went to https://www.steamgriddb.com/boop and tried step 2 and the dialog opened and said SGDBoop is working, but when i tried it again with the art nothing happend again. I also tried reinstalling sgdboop and using it in firefox and that also didn't help.
