For Linux udev, the new rules files could be read at runtime by reloading them, rather than requiring a reboot. My experience says this is always needed, not just for HID devices, and it's always required to replug them afterwards.

Good shout @dl8dtl. And fixes the two previously missing newlines.

I know too little about all the linux distributions and udev management to be confident that udevadm control --reload is universally available (there used to be times where it felt that system management commands changed on a weekly basis 😄).

Happy to merge.

I'm not that much a Linux guy :), but I have yet to find one where the reload wouldn't work.

Anyway, the embedded instructions and config file are cool! Made it way easy for me to setup everything on a new Linux laptop.
