Create File in rpm-ostree Read Only (self.linux4noobs)

I'm trying to get a Garmin Ant+ USB dongle working within Fedora Kinoite to work with Golden Cheetah and my cycle trainer.

The Golden Cheetah wiki only has instructions for getting this to work within Ubuntu which I got working on Mint previously. I'm trying to convert over to Kinoite and this is critical.

The wiki says to create a new udev rule. Following the instructions it says to place it in /etc/udev/rules.d which also exists in Kinoite, the problem being it's a read only folder and sudo still doesn't allow me to place a file. How do I override the atomic structure to create a file there? I believe it requires using the rpm-ostree command but I'm unfamiliar.

so you want to run an immutable distro, but make it not immutable. i'm not sure that's a good idea. maybe you reached its limitations.

I simply wanted to add one config file and keep it immutable
