I use Ubuntu and as this library does not come installed by default on linux, I was trying to install it via Pip but I can not find it on the official Python site.

It depends on the version of Python or Ubuntu you are running, among other things, but yes, Tkinter still exists.
If you are using Python 3:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
If you’re running the Python 2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-tk
Installing the latest stable version directly (I had compatibility issues with some libraries in version 3.7):
sudo apt-get install python3.6-tk
Depending on your version of Ubuntu the process may be a little different. I saw a user with the version 16.04 that needed to do the following:
$ sudo apt-get install python-tk python3-tk tk-dev
$ pyenv install 3.6.2
If none of this works, you may need to add a repository:
sudo add-apt-repository main
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
P.S. 1 - Recalling that the Pyenv is a version management tool that can be installed through from this repository on Github.
P.S. 2 - Tkinter import in Python 2 is different from import in Python 3.
#Python 3
import tkinter
#Python 2
import Tkinter

"3.6" is an old Python already - the last stable is 3.7

Yeah, but like I said, I had a problem with 3.7 a few months ago, and I had to downgrade. Then I was afraid to make a new upgrade to see if it is already solved haha
