The logout route is expecting a post request, which you send with Inertia but not with the anchor tag.
You can check it with
php artisan route:list -name=logout
to see the associated request methods and controller to that end point.

Laravel 8 Logout returning The GET method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: POST.
I'm facing this issue when trying to logout, I'm doing a simple <a> when getting this error
<a href="/logout">
<button>Logout</button>
</a>
It works when I do this (Vue + Inertia.js) using an Inertia.js request
<el-button @click="logout">Logout</el-button>
//method
logout() {
this.$inertia.post('/logout');
}
Why doesn't the first way work? It used to work with an <a> in Laravel 6.

I did check that but I was wondering why in Laravel 6 I could use <a> but not in Laravel 8

Not quite sure to be honest. Haven’t code dive to find it, sure you can track it on the framework repository for Laravel 6.0. Let us know what you find.

In UI the logout was a post, see: https://github.com/laravel/ui/blob/3.x/src/Auth/bootstrap-stubs/layouts/app.stub
The dropdown used the a href, but the onclick posted the form.
onclick="event.preventDefault();document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();">

I change from
<form action="User/logout" method="post" class="inline">
@csrf
@method('POST')
to this
<form action="{{route('User.logout')}}" method="post" class="inline">
@csrf
@method('POST')
and it works!
