Ps: If the recovery mode is disabled, the system may be faulty, but what should I do if I want to modify some system files:
It's easy. Use a USB flash drive to create a boot disk, start it from the USB flash drive, and try it out. You can also have root permissions.
Of course, if there are no special requirements, it is best not to do so.
PS:
If you want to use it again after it is disabled, you can select the system to be started on the grub2 selection page and press e to enter the editing mode, in the Load Kernel line, that is, the line starting with linux, the last line is added with a single, for example, the last line is changed
