What are the logs before "k3s exited with: exit status 1"?

turn off machine's firewall or make sure port 6444 is available for TCP connections.

I have turned off the firewall on the machine, but it does not change.

Perhaps you're running into an issue with your cgroups for docker. There's this issue that's related and the documentation of k3s in docker references:

Cgroup v1 and Hybrid v1/v2 are not supported; only pure Cgroup v2 is supported

Thanks for the great information. Is editing the /etc/default/grub file the best solution?

That really depends on your situation. You should probably backup your grub config before doing anything for peace of mind, but it could at least narrow down what the real issue is.
