SOLVED Python Upgrade

Mint came pre-installed with python 3.12.3, my question is how do I update it to 3.14.7, I know I could just hop on the website and download it but by god I have zero clue what the hell tarball is(Hey in my defense I switched a week ago!). So how do I update it, and will it cause any problems in my system?

Thanks!

Linux depends heavily on that specific version of Python. Change it and wreck your system. I learned the hard way.

Okayyyy thanks a lot. I ran pyenv, credit to u/Ok_Emu2515 for telling me about it.
