Hello I’m a Linux newbie and I need some help. I’m running fedora on my laptop and I want to connect my Logitech mouse. I got solaar installed but I need to manually install the udev rule. I’m following the Instructions here

So I understand that I need to copy rules.d/42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules from the solaar GitHub and place it in /etc/udev/rules.d the thing I don’t know how to do is get there. I’m not super familiar with the terminal

Edit : adding this for any future people having the same issue. I booted up my wife’s old windows 10 PC, downloaded Logitech unifying software and re-paired the mouse and dongle. Put the dongle back into my Linux PC and the mouse is working. Weirdly though solaar still shows nothing but an empty window. But whatever at least the mouse is working.

Edit 2 : just figured out if I open terminal and type sudo solaar it opens solaar and my devices show up. If I just open it from the start menu or don’t use sudo in the terminal solaar opens an empty window.

    Interesting, Im starting to think it might just be the hardware. It was sitting unused for a year or two. I’m gonna see if I can find a windows PC to plug it into just to see if it is indeed the hardware. I already tried it on every port and on my other PC running bazzite but had the same thing happen.
