Moving to qt6 is easy for Mac and windows.... almost impossible on Linux right now. At least it would require a lot more work. We want to go to Qt6,...

Omg no build flag, that would be a testing nightmare. The qt minimum version aligns with the oldest supported Ubuntu release. Qt6 has very low availability on Linux, only Ubuntu...

We support 18.04 through our ppa. It's for easier to provide the right version of Botan than the right version of qt5 through a ppa.

Snaps are built... differently.

I'm in favor of that, at least freeze 18.04 to 2.7.x if necessary

@phoerious I think we should make the leap in 2.8.0

This is not possible because msys2 does not support arm.

It is currently not on the table at this time.

I am building arm64 dependencies now, no guarantees on the release but we'll give it a try. I do not have an arm machine to test on though.

So tried building vcpkg arm dependencies and failed on qt because it requires running qmake which is built as arm application running on x86. Looked into arm VM on Azure......
