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).
