After editing /etc/default/grub do I update Grub2 in an EFI system with the following commands?

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg

As mentioned here.

I’m on Fedora 36

You can use either of those commands. Those outputs are symlinks to the same actual file in the system.
