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!

    sudo mv /etc/default/grub /root/old_etcdefaultgrub to get it out of the way, then sudo dnf reinstall /etc/default/grub to reinstall the package that provides it, giving you a fresh unmodified copy. Should work for practically any config file on Fedora.
