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.

    Ahh, sorry.

    For Fedora it looks like the default /etc/default/grub looks like this:

    GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true

    ( Taken from https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-regenerate-etc-default-grub/72677/9 )

    If you’re using LVM / LUKS you may need additional kernel parameters, like resume=… for suspend to disk to work properly.

    Please, before doing anything else, post the output of the following:

    cat /proc/cmdline

    And make a backup of your existing grub.cfg with:

    sudo cp /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /boot/grub2/grub.cfg-backup-$(date --iso=s)

    Also, be sure that you have a LiveUSB on hand. You don’t want to be SOL if we break something and can’t boot again without fixing it first.
