  Won't sudo apt install qtcreator still work? Just use your distro packages.

    Sure but they will not contain the most recent versions of Qt/QtCreator. Also many of us Qt developer still need to develop Windows specific stuff... I guess vcpkg is the way to go here. What would be funny though if someone would setup a CI for Qt/QtCreator and distribute the binaries via a custom version of their open source installer framework (which is basically the maintenance tool). So just like before. When enough people switch to this tool maybe the qt company would stop forcing logins.

      > if someone would setup a CI for Qt/QtCreator and distribute the binaries Actually this reminds me how Oracle started distributing JRE through proprietary terms for non-personal use. It led to people creating third party GPL builds. Now they can't even bundle the ask! toolbar any more because people use a different installer :).
