Please add a default interpreter for new projects created via Open Folder
I usually make projects by opening an existing folder with at least one git repo in it. However, I do not see any way to specify a default interpreter for new projects created this way. Instead, the projects always start with no interpreter. If I don't select an existing interpreter quickly enough, it creates a new interpreter from the system python (i.e. /usr/bin/python). This is annoying as I keep having to delete that interpreter that I never intend to use. Alternatively, a setting to disable creating that default system interpreter every time would be helpful.

Hello,
Please see how it works when you open a project from the existing sources:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/importing-project-from-existing-source-code.html#existing-sources
If no environment is detected, PyCharm sets up the system interpreter for the project.
What version you are running?
Please upload logs folder zipped from ***Help | Collect logs and Diagnostic Data*** to the FTP

Hi Antonina,
I have 2023.2 and it behaves exactly as described. I'm not reporting a bug; I would like to have the option to disable PyCharm setting up the system interpreter. I do not use virtualenv but have a conda environment that I would like to set as the default system-wide but this also does not seem to be possible.
Thank you for the clarification!
