IMO that’s not the fault of Linux per se but of the manifacturers that only provide drivers/software for Windows and then let the community figure out the rest.
The end result is the same just due to a different cause.
Sadly most manufacturers still don’t care about linux support. If you are lucky sometimes there’s a community alternative. But even then some of the advanced features may not work.
What you can do is check on their website which drivers they have available, and avoid buying stuff that doesn’t have Linux support when possible.
With more adoption I hope that it becomes increasingly available, although in practice I’ve seen several products drop their Linux support due to low users. 😢
It’s because Linux isn’t used widely enough. Nobody is gonna put in effort for the sake of 3 random customers. Which yields a catch 22: Linux isn’t appealing to a lot of people becsuse it lacks features/functions/ease of use, and nobody will add those features/functions/ease of use because not a lot of people use it already.
Hmm odd it should not take that long, especially with the flatpack. My install picked up the unified receiver near instant, it was only setting up the keys that took a few minutes for the MX Master 3s.

If it is a wireless one Solaar has been my go to program to manage Logitech mouses, so maybe that will also help you?

Does it all work now?
