Yes, I know, but this is just a test or a kind of "feasibility study".

The question for help to install Qt5WebEngineWidgets is a general one,
independent from the Linux distribution version.

I will check if a AppImage build on Debian stretch will work on which
newer Linux distribution - independently from a productive usage.

And the setup of an AppImage based an older stable version is the
recommended best practices from the AppImage team.

https://docs.appimage.org/reference/best-practices.html#general-recommendations
.

I already build on Ubuntu 18.04 but this will not work on the latest 
openSUSE 15.2 because openSUSE glibc is still 2.6 and Ubuntu 18.04 is
on 2.7.

And building on new distribution version like Fedora 33 or openSUSE
15.2 will end in, that you can use this AppImage only in the
distribution you have built it from - which is in contradiction to the
concept of AppImage: Build in one - use in many.

So I am realistic - I see that I will never find a set up that will
reach all current Linux distributions.

Don't expect to build current software on ancient distributions.

Using EOL distributions in general is not wise.

Your best bet is to port your AppImage project to a modern base.
