Okay, so this is probably a stupid question, I use Pop!_OS & the current emacs version is Emacs-27 So, If I had to install the latest one (Emacs-29.1 or even Emacs-30.0.93) what does one have to do, compile it manually ?

Or is there another way ?

    i use debian, so i had to do this:

    apt build-dep emacs
    

    i assume pop os to be debian-based, so that’ll work for you too. this ensures every dependency is available beforehand so you don’t get to a scenario where emacs builds successfully, but something basic like gtk support is missing

    then you clone emacs and then ./configure && make && make install. i use it for work everyday and it works pretty well
