How long till this gets into the Ubuntu apt repository?
Current stable is still at 8, and current is at 10 [1].
Is there a way to get this quicker?

nvm is probably the easiest way to install it, but of course, you can do it manually:
1. mkdir -p ~/apps/
2. Download tar.gz and extract it to ~/apps/
3. Change $PATH variable to include the bin directory
NODEJS_DIR="node-v8.12.0-linux-x64" # Change version to appropriate
export PATH=$PATH:${HOME}/apps/${NODEJS_DIR}/bin

Edit: There is also a snap package with nodejs - https://nodesource.com/blog/announcing-node-js-snap-linux-us... but there is 12.x (edge channel) not 11.x
