Wake me up when I can play my sim racing games with wheel and pedal support in Linux.

Which sim racing games? I'm more of a truck sim player than a racing player, but my wheel and pedal worked as controls out of the box. For FFB I had to install an extra package, but is that really that different to installing the logitech software on windows?

Assetto Corsa Comeptizione and F1 series mostly, with Thrustmaster gear and ultra wide monitor. It's a non starter, I've checked.

What is your specific setup? It seems like that would be a pretty straightforward thing to do.

Have nice dreams while MS builds a walled garden all around with ads and surveillance.

Can you not? I play Rockband on Linux with a real-ass guitar, I had no idea that random gaming HID didn't just get passed through like any other controller.
