Opensource doesn't mean Linux distributions only. Project like VLC or QGIS have releases not only for Linux, but for Windows and Mac too.

- pritambaral 6y agoDon't those platforms have their own package distributions? macOS has homebrew, and I hear Windows has a few.
- de_watcher 6y agoWell, when you target Windows or Mac it's a mess anyway: when your project reaches certain level of complexity then you probably build Qt alongside with it. But I think that adding friction to the "download binaries from some site" is doing nothing more than alienating Windows developers. Qt just must add something like "Sign in with Google/Facebook with one click" because this audience cares about convenience.
