Easiest to edit the scanmap on Yubikey.
Or instead, a hook can be created to switch keyboard temporarily when using Yubikey (example):
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.input-devices hotplug-command /path/to/script/input-devices.sh
Also start pcscd service for smartcard support: sudo systemctl start pcscd.service
Pop!_OS comes with brltty enabled, to make working in braille possible, however it conflicts with serial devices, so you will need to disable the service:
sudo systemctl stop brltty-udev.service
sudo systemctl mask brltty-udev.service
sudo systemctl stop brltty.service
sudo systemctl disable brltty.service
Add these rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-stadia-rumble.rules:
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="9400", MODE="0666"

gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files crawling-interval -1
gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files index-on-battery false
gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files index-on-battery-first-time false
# Or disable it completely
gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files enable-monitors false
"Settings > Color > Colorspace: sRGB" (and restart the application) or switch to Wayland
sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
