   IME Asking Chat-GPT is a valid option when you have error messages like   
   this.

   That warning usually shows up when you try to build a kernel module (for   
   example with dkms or directly via make) and your current compiler binary   
   is not exactly the same as the one used to build the running kernel.   
      
   In your case, the versions are effectively identical:   
      
   Kernel built with:   
   x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-13 (Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04) 13.3.0   
      
   Your compiler:   
   gcc-13 (Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04) 13.3.0   
      
   The difference is just in the name of the binary   
   (x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-13 vs gcc-13), not the actual compiler version.   
      
   ⚙️ What this means:   
      
   It’s only a harmless warning. The kernel checks that the compiler string   
   matches exactly, but the build is fine because the versions are identical.   
      
   Ignore it, or ask Chat-GPT how to set an enviroment variable, CC
