I think that whether we can require pyqt6 should depend on whether it can be installed on a particular flavor of Linux. That didn't used to be the case, but it may be now. It is available on Ubuntu/XUbuntu, and probably on most Ubuntu-derived distros.
*However,* Leo won't run after installing on Ubuntu until you install something else. The error message will be: qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin. qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. Here's the command needed to fix the issue: sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0 I have some non-Ubuntu Linux VMs, and I'll check them for Qt6. On Thursday, February 29, 2024 at 8:33:39 AM UTC-5 Edward K.
