This is amazing. Page says it works on RHEL 14.3, which doesn’t exist. Current RHEL is 10.x, this must’ve been done in a TARDIS.

14.3 seems to come from some Red Hat-specific GCC version, which can be reported as "gcc (GCC) 14.3.1 20250617 (Red Hat 14.3.1-2)". See these random examples I found by googling:

On the same line it says kernel version 6.12.0-124.45.1.el10_1. Which is RHEL 10. This is the kind of typo that humans make -- the hard to type numbers are accurate because they're cut and pasted, but the "easy" numbers have errors because they're not cut and pasted.

ugh sorry should be fixed. There was some scrambling to get more info together to explain the issue (and yes, obviously marketing), so there are some minor mistakes. Thanks for pointing it out!

Indeed. "Distributions we directly verified: RHEL 14.3". Directly verified by me to be AI slop (the release page at least).

I have a sneaking suspicion his first name is Claude. Don't get me wrong though, he is pretty good I hear.
