I am a new ubuntu user and want to use my machine to it's full extent, so I looked for Logitech Options software for my Logitech MX Master 2s on linux, but found nothing.
Will the software run through Wine? If not, is there any other way to install Logitech Options or get to customize the functions of macro buttons and the thumb wheel?
I was having the same problem as you did/do. The solution that I found to address this issue was installing Solaar.
This application allows you to manage Logitech devices. I have a Logitech 400 plus (A keyboard with a mouse) and with that, I can achieve the things that I needed to change.
And you're going to see on the top right corner a battery icon indicating the battery remaining on your device. Hope this helps you!
There is an unofficial driver for Logitech mice and keyboards which works for me with Ubuntu 18.04 and the MX Master 2S. It enabled me to use my thumb button with gestures, smartshift scrolling with an individual threshold and individual dpi settings. See here on how to install the driver.
The Flow feature is not yet implemented but there seems to exist an alternative for Windows/Linux/Mac called barrier.
As it stands Logitech Options is not available for Linux and it does not appear to be running in WINE. You could always check the WINE website for more information, but it looks like there is nothing yet.
You should always checkout the Arch Linux Wiki for help. Here is the article covering the MX Master.
Piper might be what you are looking for.

This was the answer for me. I used it to enable a unifying USB receiver, and share it with an ERGO K860 keyboard and an MX ERGO trackball. Solaar will detect all devices paired with supported Unifying, Lightspeed, or Nano receivers, and at the very least display some basic information about them. A really excellent utility. Props to @vito genovese for the heads-up.
After trying many other solutions listed here, logiops has worked great so far: custom button-mapping, gesture support, smart shift, etc. Nearly every LogiOptions feature seems to be supported by it. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS and using an MX Master 3.
Folks may be put off by it because there's no GUI, and build and installation aren't trivial (I had a problem where cmake couldn't find libevdev). That being said, Danish Shakeel's Configure Logitech MX Master 3 on Linux blog post helped quite a bit, especially for getting started with the configuration file. The documentation for the configuration file is quite good, but it can get a little tricky and there aren't many examples out there aside from the example in the repository.
For what it's worth, here's my configuration (located at /etc/logid.cfg by default):
For mapping keyboard shortcuts, refer to /usr/include/linux/input.h.
I was looking for ways to configure my G700s on linux.

works very well for configuring my mouse and apparently works for a number of other gaming mice.edit: I got

from the official arch repository, but is available in and the ubuntu repository.logiops might be a good choice, this is an unofficial driver for Logitech mice and keyboard.

I tried Solaar and piper they both didnt work at all , then I tried something called "easystroke gesture recognition" basically its Logitech options on steroids , you have much more options and you can custom everything and it can be used on any mice.
About unifying remotes, you might also wanna look at ltunify if you just need to pair. Easy use. But it's just for pairing.
