Yeah that's the foot cannon, I thought I was good, but you need the
specific ones
as Ondrej pointed out to me.

Arguments for why the dnf command should have it with uname:
1. We tried to add it twice, it's bit people twice.
2. The README states "On a modern Fedora system you can install these
dependencies with the following command:"
    - which is wrong, you need the specific package
    - If you're going to provide a "dnf install" or a apt-get install,
it should just work
    - the apt-get example has uname -r in it.
    - so the precludes building your own kernel, if you do that as
Paul stated, you're on your own. (lore comment)
