With new users coming over to linux they may not know how to create this udev rule, there is no indication of how you create this udev rule, only the directory of where it should be made, this directory is in root and requires root privileges to be created, my suggestion is that you tell the user to do sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-wooting.rules and then explain how to use nano so that they can save and exit nano safely

to save and exit you do ctrl-x, y and enter in nano

if we would update them we would most likely do smth more like an echo into a file

#

explaining how to use a command line text editor would go quite for far the simple job of pasting a basically unchaning block of text

so whats the easy way of doing it then for a user?

prob smth like

sudo echo "config line1
config line2
...
config lineX" > /path/to/file
#
