SOLVED ----- USB not recognized to program :( -----SOLVED

Hi everyone,

I am trying to make a Rick Roll prank from the ATTiny85 on a USB stick. Like this one:
http://digistump.com/products/1

You know, plug it in, it acts as a keyboard like a BadUSB and navigates to youtube or whatever. My eventual goal is to move my occupation to pentesting, so this will be fun, but I digress.

I am trying to make this work on Kali Linux 4.14.2 (2017.12.04)
I have followed the steps on this page: http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/connecting
As well as here: http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/linuxtroubleshooting

Including:

trying a couple different versions of Arduino IDE e.g. 1.5.8, 1.6.7, 1.8.5
I have updated the udev rules in both directories mentioned on the Linux troubleshooting page, as well as reloaded them. As well as restarted the PC.
I have literally apt-get installed libusb* as root
I have run Arduino IDE as root every time
I always have tried on a native USB port, including different ones.
 

Whenever I go to upload a sketch, it just times out. It never recognizes the USB. I was able to get it to work just fine on a Windows 10 box by the way
