Mismatch in OS settings

So my vcenter is running fine on my ESXi, but everytime I check on it in my ESXi I get the following error:

The configured guest OS (Other 3.x or later Linux (64-bit)) for this virtual machine does not match the guest that is currently running (VMware Photon OS (64-bit)). You should specify the correct guest OS to allow for guest-specific optimizations

Now, that is fine, since the specific OS has the wrong settings under Guest OS and Guest OS Version. When I installed it, Photon was not available. And it is still not available.

I try to remedy this by shutting down the vCenter session and edit the settings, but Photon OS is not on the list.

It is currently configured as Default Linux > Other Linux 3 or later, x64.

What impact has this and is it something I can do anything about and if so what? ESXi is running 7.0 Update 3.

As of now, the "solution" is to ignore the message. See https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/67671
