I also second the flatpak model. Python-serial is just one of several things you will need to get Chirp working on newer distributions.
If you do have pip still installed you should be able to (please excuse the formatting):
Pip install https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/releases/download/v3.2.1/pyserial-3.2.1...

Some have been more aggressive (Fedora) and some less so but it looks like all the more "current" releases are actively retiring Python 2 due to it being EOL.
You can try my flatpak if you have flatpak support. I would consider it experimental but I was able to download from my Wouxun UV6D.
