Possible Solutions
1- In the script/pre-requirements.sh file the dependency golang could be modified to match this new OS version and installed via apt install golang (TESTED AND WORKING)
2 - In the script/pre-requirements.sh file the dependency golang could be modified to match this new OS version and installed via snap install go
I think that if a ppa does not have a Release file for a specific distribution could mean that:
- it does not support your os version (since you should install it differently)
- it is not updated
