I want to permanently switch from GUI interface to text mode interface in fedora. I tried to edit the /etc/inittab
file to switch the runtime level. But that file was no longer used.
Then I tried to add runtime level 3 to rhgp quite found while booting i.e. by pressing e (on the grub screen). But it would temporarily switch to text mode.
So what should I do to permanently switch from GUI interface to text mode interface?
This is a new fedora 23 (workstation edition) installed on virtual box, without any changes.

Simple - just do
systemctl set-default multi-user.target
to change.If you ever want to go back to graphical mode then you can do that with
systemctl set-default graphical.target
.You can also switch temporarily using
systemctl isolate
followed by the name of the target you want to switch to, butset-default
will change the target it boots to by default.
