You can creat the venv in Thonny, you can select a venv in Thonny tom look in the setting (or bottom right corner).
The OS is protecting itself after many many people getting annoyed at Debian for python killing the OS python off, and pip not being upgradable properly. So they now enforce venv, but there are way to turn the protection off, use the system packages in a venv, have a venv setup for the uses and leave it at that etc.
The link provided no doubt telly's you that.
Here's another guide , even includes Thonny.
