As shown below, the os-prober does not detects Fedora (even though I am currently booted into Fedora!)

$ sudo os-prober

Any suggestions?

The generated file output should /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, so the command is:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

After generating the config, take a look at the config file and see that your Fedora install is included/configured.

see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/bootloading-with-grub2/#create-a-grub-2-configuration for more information

fyi, os-prober is there to find “other” operating systems besides the installed Fedora.
