Why do it in a Vagrant? If you download the go tarball from golang.org, it will work just fine with no dependencies on any desktop linux. You can have multiple versions, and switch between them by changing your GOROOT.

Plus, it'll be faster.

Vagrant is available for Mac, Linux and Windows (https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html). I'm not sure what other dependency the link above would have.

No assumption, just offering another way to install.

Maybe just chill your beans and enjoy Peter's writeup.
