Building on Qt6 for older Linux distros
-
I will be starting a new project soon, a free app that will run on various Linux distros. I would like to target CentOS7 and later (as well as other similar age distros).
I'm wondering whether I can safely use Qt6. Most people who use my app are no super techies, and downloading from the distro's own repos is as far as they can go. They won't download/compile their own Qt6 libraries.
What is the plan for Qt6 libraries? Is it coming to all current Linux distro's from their repos? (Like Qt5)?

Since Qt6 needs a recent compiler (at least gcc 9) I would say - no Qt6 will not run on such ancient CentOS versions. See also https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/supported-platforms.html
