Hi
IT DOES  ...and mighty fine at that  :D
I'm running QT6 on both my linux lappies -- NO problems.
Before that, Qt4 & Qt5
Regards Benny
If it ain't broke, don't fix it ;)

Qt6 runs fine. Strange question.

objects are fine constructs. You can even initialize them with constructors.

When will lazarus actually work with QT?

I ran Lazarus with QT on a PowerPC Mac in 2006-2007. I think you need to be a bit more specific.

It works poorly with Wayland.

I am very curious to know which application (not necessarily from Lazarus) works better under Wayland than with last XLibre.
I use Lazarus 2.2.0 32/64 and FPC 3.2.2 32/64 on Debian 11 64 bit, Windows 10, Windows 7 32/64, Windows XP 32,  FreeBSD 64.
Widgetset: fpGUI, MSEgui, Win32, GTK2, Qt.

Wayland works poorly. Lazarus can't fix that.

Qt6 works great on Wayland. Any window position issues are Wayland issues, not Qt, not Freepascal/Lazarus and this is known for other programming languages too. Some frameworks work around that or simply advise XWayland to be installed as a dependency.

You must also understand the vision behind Wayland, which is "moving windows all over the place is not good design". I personally disagree as do many, so simply use XWayland.

I'm using QT (5 I think, maybe 6) on Ubuntu 24.04 and it works fine although I'm a very basic user.  I have Ubuntu set to "Ubuntu on XOrg" but don't know if that's important or not.
