Incorrect. Each standalone Ruby version installs into it’s own versioned subfolder.
I have at least 3 standalone “system” Ruby versions installed on my computer.
There are several Ruby version manager utilities available to tell your computer which one to use as the default.
They are listed in my Ruby Resources listing in the REFERENCE list under Ruby Generic References.
For Windows I use uru. (See the link in the list.)
So, go ahead and install Ruby version 3.2.2-p53 (or a newer patch level of Ruby 3.2.2).
Then adjust any of the VSCode or project settings files to point to the 3.2.2 path.
