Let me add that this is way less hard/scary than people might think.
Unless you need some special finetuning (which almost certainly you
don't), it's (more or less)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git
sudo apt install <a list of dependencies> # <-- the most complicated step
make
sudo make install
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and you're done. One thing that /might/ go wrong is that you don't
install some dependency and your Emacs is slightly crippled (e.g., can't
display images). More detailed info can be found in
https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/INSTALL#.
Best,
