From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

That looks like the grub file that's put in /boot to make the menu to boot the system.

Are you sure you've never run "grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/default/grub"? Because making the grub file you may have overwritten the config file.

By the look of things I would reinstall grub with my package manager to forcing to overrun config files. Keep in mind this would return the file to your distribution defaults.
