Answer:
Analysis of Your System
From your uname -a output:
Linux to 6.8.0-90-generic x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Key facts:
- OS: Linux (Ubuntu 22.04)
- Architecture:
x86_64(64-bit Intel/AMD) - NOT: Android, macOS, or ARM

Understanding the amd64 Variants
Once you see the Linux files, here’s how to choose among the amd64 sub-variants:
| Variant | CPU Requirement | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
linux-amd64-v1 |
Any x86_64 CPU (broadest compat) | ✅ Safe default for most systems |
linux-amd64-v2 |
Requires SSE4.2 (2008+ CPUs) | Slightly faster if your CPU supports it |
linux-amd64-v3 |
Requires AVX2 (2013+ CPUs) | Best performance on modern CPUs |
To check which level your CPU supports:
# Check for v2 support
grep -m1 -c 'sse4_2' /proc/cpuinfo
# Check for v3 support (AVX2)
grep -m1 -c 'avx2' /proc/cpuinfo
If the output is 1, your CPU supports that level.
For a safe and compatible choice, stick with mihomo-linux-amd64-v1-alpha-XXXXXXX.gz.
After Downloading
