          @Pl45m4 Not quite the answer. I was able to run Qt 6.6.0 on Ubuntu 20.04. My question is what the oldest Ubuntu version is that can run Qt 6.6.0, not what is currently supported by the Qt team.

            Then, I believe you won't get a definite answer.
            Even if it's possible to install on something like Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, maybe at some point you could run into issues sooner or later.
            So I would say... if you have one specific version in mind, try it and see what happens

              Any distribution version that can meet the minimum version required for:

              • A GCC version with complete C++17 support (8+)
              • CMake and Python
              • X11 and other libraries listed here

              would be a good start for building a Qt library set that runs on that platform.

                @TheFlyingMooseMan C++ 17 is needed for Qt 6.
                GCC has had complete support for C++17 language features since version 8.

                focal (20.04LTS) could be the oldest one for Qt6
