Perhaps not in the official/base repositories, but:
 https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
has gcc-12 available.
Once you have a binary, you no longer need gcc, so then it's not too difficult 
to create a package for others on the distro. 

However, if there are other missing dependencies (as is the case for OpenSUSe 
Leap), it gets trickier: if you have to hunt for libraries dt depends on, 
other would also have to hunt for those. _Not_ nice for a distributed 
package...

As for flatpak, snap and other self-contained packages, some seem to cause 
their own troubles as soon as you want more than vanilla use, due to the 
sandboxing they do (which is a good thing, until it isn't).
