Press e in the grub menu to edit the kernel command line, then addsystemd.unit=multi-user.target and press CTRL+X to boot. (You may or may not want to remove quiet, rhgb or such.)

Is that the line that starts with linux?

You could duplicate a grub entry and then change the entry while adding different arguments.

  • Add a new kernel entry:
sudo grubby --grub2 \
  --add-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-6.12.6-200.fc41.x86_64 \
  --title="Boot_without_GUI" \
  --initrd=/boot/initramfs-6.12.6-200.fc41.x86_64.img \
  --args=systemd.unit=multi-user.target, quiet
