I don't know that I care about Ubuntu 20.04; that's almost 4 years old and
probably isn't being used by anyone who's building kernel documentation.

Oracle Linux 9 (2022) ships Python 3.9.14.  It also appears to ship python
3.11.2 as an optional install.  It doesn't seem to ship sphinx at all.
At least not that I can find from a quick rummage in the repositories.
The recommendation I'm finding is to use pip to install sphinx if you
need it.
