Golang on debian (h0bbl3s.port0.org)

I’m a big fan of debian. I’m also a big fan of golang. One of the sacrifices debian makes to be so stable is lagging behind a bit on software versions. Debian users generally understand this, and also understand that it’s a good idea not to mess with the system versions of software. Here I will demonstrate how I configure my system to use whichever version of go I wish without harming the overall system configuration.

Use distrobox

Nix > distrobox for this scenario

Unless you don't want to use Nix

Rust can also be installed for the user only. Still, stable distros are a very strange concept.
