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

I agree with the general sentiment. Thank you for mentioning that!
Though, the use of sudo nano
might still pose a risk if any software found on the system is either vulnerable/exploitable, not trusted, or simply exploitative. In that case, like what's achieved through sandboxing i.e. not allow the software to go beyond their intended scope, it makes sense to put a limit on the capabilities of the software. And to that effect, the use of sudoedit
still offers merit over sudo nano
.
Though, if the user doesn't (already) rely on bubblejail, firejail, Flatpak etc for what they offer in sandboxing. And/or if said user simply doesn't care for the principle of least privilege, then the use of sudo nano
is perfectly valid.
