It seems that the code to generate the CLI for the file that was downloaded is wrong and using a possibly hard coded version number.

When a user downloads the file, the instructions should return the instructions to install/unpack the file.

What did you do?

Downloaded Go 1.15.2

https://golang.org/doc/install?download=go1.15.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

What did you expect to see?

tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.15.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

What did you see instead?

tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.14.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

I'm not sure how CI/CD works for different regions for the website, but the next day my fix got approved-merged it had been deployed and I've seen it working.
Currently, everything is ok for me in chrome/firefox/safari. Just in case, have you tried clearing the cache in your browser?

NVM, looks like your issue is valid and it's not because of the deployment.
Previously I used Win/macOS for the development and missed it. Now I was able to reproduce it on my Linux VM and it looks like the script is not executed when the page loads the Linux tab.
Gonna work on that, thanks @jgeiger-trane

Created an issue #41537 which is the reason why Linux instructions aren't updating.
And created a PR that should solve it.

Thanks for looking into this @ipriver. The underlying problem is a problem in the OS detection code.

Let's close this as duplicate of #41232, and use #41537 to track this issue.

doc/install: fixed how JS defines browser OS
4c40783 
Updated "detectOS" function to use "userAgent" instead of "appVersion".
It has more info and using that it can be correctly detected that the
user uses Firefox on Linux. Users who want to be incognito can modify
these values in their browsers, so there is no workaround for such rare
cases. Added "else if" statements to prevent overwriting the variable.
Also, added a check that prevents to use "click" on "null" elements (in
case if OS haven't been detected or an element doesn't exist in DOM).

Fixes golang/go#41537
Fixes golang/go#41528
