Supported Platforms
The following platforms are supported in Qt 6.1. For information about prior Qt releases, please consult the relevant version in the Qt Documentation Archives.
Supported platforms are actively maintained, subjected to testing, and bugs discovered in these platforms are prioritized for correction. Significant errors discovered in testing can impact release dates.
The Qt Company offers commercial support for all officially supported platforms and configurations.
Configurations not listed below are not officially supported by the Qt Project. However, Qt may still run on unsupported platforms and configurations. The Qt Company, Qt partners, open source developers, and community users are able to provide assistance in this situation.
Note: Support for specific configurations or operating system versions may end before the support for Qt 6.1 does. A subsequent patch release of Qt 6.1 may drop support for a configuration or replace it with a currently-supported version.

Embedded Platforms
Embedded Linux
Refer to Configure an Embedded Linux Device for information on generic cross-compilation of Qt for Embedded Linux devices.
For further embedded platform support, please consult the Qt for Device Creation documentation.
Availability of Packages
You can download the Qt installers and source packages from the Downloads page. For more information, visit the Getting Started with Qt page.
Note: All the supported configurations are not provided as binary packages in the Qt installer. However, the intention is to provide the most widely-used configurations for the developer's convenience.
Note: Linux binary packages are linked against glibc 2.28. If you are using a glibc version older than that you need to build Qt from sources or upgrade glibc to 2.28 or newer.
Exceptions
Individual modules might be available only on some platforms, or they might not support all configurations. For example, as Qt WebEngine has Chromium as a third-party dependency, platform or configuration limitations upstream also apply to Qt WebEngine.
The documentation for each module contains detailed information about any exceptions the module has from the general platform and configuration support as described on this page.
Deployment of Qt Applications
The deployment procedure for each platform is different and they are covered in greater detail in their platform pages. Meanwhile, there is a deployment article for summarizing the deployment procedure in general.
