Ok so update still no luck
But redoing as per the mod instructions. Disabled all steam workshop mods, installed the github verion of UE4SS, extracted the folder to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Palworld\Pal\Binaries\Win64\Mods" and the configurable xp gain folder is inside, in both the steam and github version of mods.text added "ConfigurableExpGainDefault: 1" assuming this enables the mod but no luck.

For the XP and material question, you should be able to make adjustments to the world settings to make life easier. To completely disable will require mods.
Modding between Windows and Linux is the same. Drop files where they belong in the game files and hit run in Steam. Game progress will cloud save. Copy mods into game folder on steam deck (or a full copy from your windows machine).
Read the install notes carefully for UE4SS. I think you have to run it to get folders to populate, but manually making them should not cause problems.
For multiple mods that modify the same file, check out PalSchema and Infinite Addons (now called Infinite Mod).
Yeah I already have global xp at half, but im trying this mod to disable crafting xp as i basically get a passive 2 xp from always having berries cooking.
I extract UE4SS into win 64 and the mod into win64/mods, enable what they said to in mods.txt which im thinking is ConfigurableExpGainDefault: 1 and nothing. I disabled all steam workshop mods to make sure theres no interference and its not working
im writing up what ive basically said in this post and my other comment to the page see if the author has any wisdom and/or if im being a dummy.
And I've ran it a couple times now but all relevant folders seem to have been there
Edit: but good to know once I figure out how to get it working its the same on steam deck
