You're lucky that you're not installing on an nVidia Jetson system that is pinned to Python 3.8 which forces you to use old versions for almost everything else, unless you want to give up on CUDA.
Not that lucky, since I’m using 3.12 (iirc) for my opencv-related projects, 3.10 for… can’t remember what, probably kohya_ss, then 3.9 for few tools like rembg and a few left from nodejs setup via choco, not sure if it still needs them. Not counting minicondas here cause it’s hard to even guess.
