## Baseline requirements

These are the minimum kernel requirements for any Go build.
Some architectures may have a higher version requirement (see below).

| **Kernel version** | **Final support version** |
| :----------------- | :------------------------ |
| 3.2 or above       |                           |
| 2.6.32 or above    | Go 1.23.12                |
| 2.6.23 or above    | Go 1.18.10                |

## Achitecture-specific requirements
