Basically the title. I have no idea what's in the market, how much that would cost, or even where to look.

I want to spend as little as possible for a setup that works on Linux (in Steam with Proton).

I'm not a simracer, I just want to be able to stay on the road in My Winter Car.

I use a Logitech G920 with pedals and gear stick, which (as far as I remember) worked out of the box.

I used to have the simpler (and much cheaper) Logitech Driving Force GT, which had accelerate/brake pedals, but didn't have a clutch or proper gearstick, but did have a sort of "up/down gear changer" sort of thing.

Anyway, they basically both worked on Linux.

I use pyLinuxWheel for configuration, but think Oversteer is generally used by most people these days.

[Edit]
Logitech Driving Force GT
between £30 and £150 2nd hand

Logitech G920
£100 - £150 2nd hand
£170 - £230 new

Try a £30 Driving Force GT. If you don't like it, you've not lost too much. Resell it for £30 again. If you love it, but start dreaming of clutch control and manual gear shifting, then you know you need to invest more.
