Qt6-base or Qt5-base?

For me intall qt5-base and qt6-base
Can one of qt6 or qt5 deleted?

It is difficult to say. Most of the qt-based applications are now qt6 already, but there is still quite a bit of stuff requiring qt5.

Over time, all applications will eventually be ported to qt6, but we’re not quite there yet. :man_shrugging:

qt5-base cannot be removed from Manjaro Xfce at this time because it is required by manjaro-settings-manager

To check other packages that still require qt5-base :

pamac remove --cascade --dry-run qt5-base

It cannot be removed from Plasma either, for the same reason. And it’s not just manjaro-settings-manager, but also things like calligra-plan and several other components.

It’s a huge dependency chain.

Agree
