PyCharm doesn't list Python 3.12 interpreter

Question

On my Pop OS system the base Python interpreter is 3.10, and I installed Python 3.12, it works perfectly fine:

With 3.12 I can create virtual environment, run Python files, so it works perfectly:

But when I try to set it in PyCharm, it just doesn't see Python 3.12:

So it sees and recognizes python, python3, python3.10 binaries, but not python3.12, despite python3.12 being there:

Why is that? What should I do?

Did you try adding the 3.12 interpreter? See in the first screen, "Add interpreter" next to the interpreter selection dropdown? — juanpa.arrivillaga

Inside the "Add interpreter > Select Python Interpreter" dialog, try clicking the "refresh" button (second button from the right at the top). You may be looking at an outdated tree. Does python3.12 appear after that? — Brian61354270

So the problem was that I orignally downloaded Pycharm from snap store, and this version of Pycharm appears to be a bit outdatted and buggy.

I downloaded the newest version from the official website https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/?section=linux and it works flawlessly.
