  • You didn’t list your distro, but I had the same issue on Pop!_OS. I fixed it by modifying the ALSA properties in /usr/share/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua. I’d first try uncommenting headroom and changing it to 1024, then logging out and back in. If that doesn’t work, go 2048. If that still doesn’t work, then I’d maybe try adjusting period-size.

    For me, a value in the ~1200 range for headroom fixed it completely. But it will entirely depend on your sound card/hardware. And note, these values will probably be overwritten with any wireplummer updates.

    Also keep in mind, increasing headroom will increase audio latency, so try not to increase it too drastically.

    One thing I haven’t seen mentioned yet is to try and build up a pavlovian association with bed/bedroom = sleep. Don’t do any mentally stimulating tasks while in your bed or even bedroom - no TV or youtube, no mindless phone scrolling, no gaming, etc. Bedroom should be for sleep and sex, and that’s it. If you cut everything else out for a while, your brain will much more strongly associate bed(room) with sleepytime.

    Other things people have mentioned are valid too. Consistent sleep schedule, don’t eat/drink/exercise for 2-3hrs before bed, etc.









  • I’ve been able to stream my non-steam games from my linux desktop to my steam link, at least the ones in Heroic Games Launcher. Although, for that to work I had to use Heroic’s “add game to steam” and “minimize heroic on game launch” options. Without the minimize option, the game thought I was using a mouse and keyboard instead of controller.




  • I’m perpetually playing Deep Rock Galactic, Halo MCC, and Team Fortress 2, but besides those, here are some other games I played in the last 30 days:

    Desktop (Pop!_OS)

    • CarX Drift Racing Online (2017) - way more difficult than I expected, but fun once you get the hang of it
    • Hylics 2 (2020) - incredible art and soundtrack
    • Landfall Archives (free - 2023) - nice collection of demos from one of my favorite indie dev studios
    • Left 4 Dead 2 (2009) - went back and played with some friends, still awesome
    • MUCK (free - 2021) - tried this out with a few friends, very fun
    • Outlast (2013) - finally completed this classic and loved it
    • POSTAL 2 (2003) - not a game I’d recommend to everyone, but if you’re the type of person who would enjoy this type of humor, then you’ll really enjoy it

    Steam Deck

    • American Truck Simulator (2016) - nice game to chill out to
    • Finding Paradise (2017) - incredible story
    • Totally Accurate Battle Simulator (2021) - also a nice game to chill out to, but some levels are a lot more difficult than expected (not a bad thing)
    • Vampire Survivors (2022) - I am so addicted please help


  • Christmas morning my phone broke (shutoff at >50% and wouldn’t turn on at all). The day before a flight. When all of the stores to get a quick replacement were closed. And the only way I could get any info about my flight was by having my email’s 2FA keys, which were on my broken phone, and the only backup was on my desktop, which was 500km+ away.

    Had to walk our catsitter through sending me the backup, and then rush to a retailer this morning to buy a replacement before my flight. Was not a fun experience, or a fun way to spend all of my Christmas money 😅
