I would have guessed you don’t have permissions on the directory to create
the file.
Btw, sudo is fine for server administration but imo too big and troublesome for desktop use. There are tools with fewer than 150 lines of code doing what you use sudo for on desktop.
Currently, i use rdo and ssu. But both have their shortcomings: rdo doesn’t always get, that you typed the pw just a minute ago. While ssu doesn’t need your pw, but it has awkward parameter handling and was made for file editing, doesn’t work with some tools like pikaur/yay. I know there’s more such tools, 1000 lines of code would still be preferable over full-blown sudo/doas. But maybe i make a mix of ssu’ passwd handling and rdo’ capabilities myself.

What tools do you recommend for Linux desktop use?
