Какие версии Ubuntu, (не вкусы) работают нормально?

Для Golang 1.8 на Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty до 17.10 Artful:

# sudo apt update
# sudo apt install golang-1.8 golang-1.8-doc
# for bin in /usr/lib/go-1.8/bin/* ; do
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/$(basename $bin) $(basename $bin) $bin 0
    sudo update-alternatives --set $(basename $bin) $bin
  done

Для Golang 1.9 на Ubuntu 17.10 Artful to 18.04 Bionic:

# sudo apt update
# sudo apt install golang-1.9 golang-1.9-doc
# for bin in /usr/lib/go-1.9/bin/* ; do
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/$(basename $bin) $(basename $bin) $bin 0
    sudo update-alternatives --set $(basename $bin) $bin
  done

Для Golang 1.10 на Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic:

# sudo apt update
# sudo apt install golang-1.10 golang-1.10-doc
# for bin in /usr/lib/go-1.10/bin/* ; do
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/$(basename $bin) $(basename $bin) $bin 0
    sudo update-alternatives --set $(basename $bin) $bin
  done
