Any Linux is compatible with PostgreSQL v16 if the software installed satisfies the requirements for PostgreSQL v16.
PostgreSQL doesn’t provide binary packages of new versions for old, outdated operating systems. You will have to build PostgreSQL from source.
If you install PostgreSQL v16.1 on a hypervisor (VMware), then according to VMware documentation. VMware Postgres is currently supported only on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 8, and RHEL version 9. This applies to the core database software and client components such as ODBC and JDBC. You can go through the following VMware documentation to study in detail:
