I attempted to follow the process listed in the following post, which was very helpful in recognizing several errors I made:

SteamPlay Elite Dangerous - Recognizing Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick as 'Generic Gamepad'

After reinstalling Steam using the newest Debian off of their website (https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/), and using the correct distro-specific Proton installer, many of my issues cleared. When trying to use protontricks (protontricks 359320 regedit) in order to edit the registry, which will force Steam to not think of the joystick as a "generic controller," I received the following error:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response. Ubuntu 22.10, and I have not attempted any manual script or programmatic changes via compiler.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
