GnuPG / GPG how create an EdDSA key !? [ SOLVED ]

Hi,

I've seen some tutorial to create EdDSA key with Gnupg

gpg --full-gen-key

and it's supposed to allow me to create ECC key, but I see only

Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
(14) Existing key from card
Your selection?\

gpg --version show:

...
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.27
Supported algorithms:
Pubkey: RSA, ELG, DSA, ECDH, ECDSA, EDDSA
...

Any idea what's wrong ?

Unless you're working with embedded chips with very small storage space, I'd recommend 4098-bit RSA
- ~~8096 bit is safer long term as it should remain uncrackable for a longer time.~~
  
  I was thinking you were talking about 2048
  
  Does GPG support it?
  
  Isn't it the default?
  
  Edit: I was mixing up 2048 with 4096
