I can’t edit /etc/default/grub

I’m trying to update my grub boot order back to booting the first option instead of the second, so I run sudo nano /etc/default/grub, but it brings up this, which is not the file I want to edit.

I’m on fedora 38

It has been solved!

    Read the first couple of lines in that file, they provide a vital clue as to where you should be looking and what you should be doing.

      Sorry, I think I forgot to update my original post to mention this, but I think I somehow overwrote this file with the contents of grub.cfg so that file is no help to me.

      This guy right here…he knows what he’s doing. :)

      We used to just say “RTFM”, but this is nicer.

      Try grub2-mkconfig
