update-golang
update-golang is a script to easily fetch and install new Golang releases with minimum system intrusion (by udhos)
gvm
Go Version Manager (gvm) enables seamless installing and swapping between Go versions with a single command. This tool manages a Go environment for the user by allowing a user to specify which Go version they wish to use and handling all of the steps to install and configure that Go version. GVM also supports installing Go from the official Golang master branch so that you can easily try the next version of Go without waiting for a pre release build. (by devnw)

What's wrong with my Go installation on Ubuntu 22?
I use the update-golang script to install or update Go on Linux Mint and it has always worked.

After struggling to install Go using asdf for vscode on macOS I decided to document the entire process
On my WSL2 install I was using gvm before, now I'm using https://github.com/udhos/update-golang, you can specify versions and it caches the downloads, so you can switch between versions using the script. Since it uses the 'official' install process, it works as expected most of the time (I had a couple issues with gvm, for example).
