IDLE is not opening python3.8
#1
I installed Python3.8 on a LINUX Mint OS in the terminal, but IDLE still opens Python version 3.6.9. How do I get IDLE to open Python 3.8. I can open Python 3.8 from the terminal, but when I open IDLE it opens Python version 3.6.9

If you are loading from an old icon it could still be loading the old executable.

Find the idle version installed with your version 3.8 and load from that.
