I came here looking for a reference to Solaar, which is what I currently use.
AFAICT there's no reason to switch to OpenLogi for Linux users.

But on another note, the genai content on the website is just so distracting and such a bummer. It sticks out like sore thumb.
In OpenLogiI am very happy with my Triathlon, but I use the 3rd-party Linux software Solaar https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar

693 points · Open discussionI too have had quite an awesome experience with Linux on older devices, everything just works, Many things are actually better than Windows, Unfortunately I feel like there is still a lack of software available on linux. Yes there are alternatives for everything usually, but things like microsoft office would make a great addition.
I would say in some instances driver support is actually better, I had this old logitech wireless keyboard and mouse lying around which worked quite well, unfortunately they came with this older version of unifying receiver which the current version of their official software refused to recognize (on windows, no official linux support). I was having trouble finding a older version of the software too. Somehow I ended up trying to use Solarr [1] (which is made for Linux) and it worked first try.

I use solaar[0] on Linux for my MX Master 2S; it's really nice and mostly works out of the box!

In My mouse driver is asking for a firewall exemption (2019)Use the Unifying receiver, that's what I've been doing for 10 years with multiple devices. It costs like 15 bucks, it's tiny and works flawlessly for any OS/device combo I throw at it, including the Ubuntu 16 + MX Master 2S + K800 that I'm using right now. There's an app called [Solaar](https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar) that helps with the pairing and such but I don't think it's strictly necessary (can't remember the last time I ran it).
In Bored? How about trying a Linux speed run?
