While I can't tell you the exact Ubuntu version, I would expect 20.04LTS to be problematic at this point. You could try with a devcontainer and a more recent Ubuntu base image, from the 24.04LTS era, installing more recent kernel headers into the devcontainer than the kernel the devcontainer is deployed on. There is a well-maintained go devcontainer feature by Microsoft to install specific or the latest stable Go toolchain into the devcontainer if necessary. A devcontainer is a Docker/OCI container used for development, well supported in VSCode, created from simple json configurations, which are modular thanks to the feature mechanism. No need for a separate VM, just Docker.
