The flat config file format has been the default configuration file format since ESLint v9.0.0. In the guide, which is really helpful and well-written by the way, the configuration is still described for the deprecated eslintrc format.
Therefore, this section should be updated or at least it should be mentioned that the eslintrc format has to be enabled since v9.0.0 by setting ESLINT_USE_FLAT_CONFIG environment variable to false(see here).
