As of Ubuntu 24.04's release, Python 3.11 may not be available directly through the official Ubuntu repositories or through Deadsnakes PPA, for instance.
You could, in this case, build Python 3.11 from source.
However, as of my latest check, the Deadsnakes PPA has already updated its support for Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble). So you can just
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.11

I believe a more contemporary and efficient method exists for installing a tailored version of Python, accompanied by a virtual environment, without relying on pip:
apt-get update && apt-get install -y uv
uv venv --python 3.11
Best practice: avoid modifying the system Python to prevent potential disruptions to the operating system's dependencies.
