Fedora 32 and 33 are using GCC 10, and Fedora 34 will be using GCC 11.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 8 is using GCC 8, but there is access
to GCC 9 and soon GCC 10 too.

openSUSE Leap 15.x is using GCC 7. openSUSE Tumbleweed is using GCC 10
right now.

Mageia 8 will be using GCC 8.

OpenMandriva Lx is currently using Clang 9 (and GCC 9).

I think you'll be generally fine.
