@JL,

Actually, I didn’t change the picture in the article, but the given instructions will give you Vim 8.1 in Mint 20. Seems it will take some time to include 8.3 in the default repositories…

Please explain. How do I get 8.3?

the last line should be:

$ ./vim

Why do you suggest to use
# make install
while debian documentation strongly suggest to not use it like that?
