It doesn't seem to be THAT bad as LTS phases were introduced in the first place only very recently. See: https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/kqi1v8/qt_515_commercialonly_lts_phase_starts_closing/gi4o0ua/ https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/kqi1v8/qt_515_commer... Also, some distros haven't even updated to the latest FLOSS version of the LTS release, so it seems to not be that important to the maintainers.

Right. Never saw a benefit in switching to the most recent version. Still very satisfied with Qt 4.8 and 5.4. Apparently they closed the LTS branch for community contributions which is reasonable because otherwise the community would contribute to a version which would only be accessible to other community members a year later.

    I have indeed; macOS is no issue; Windows needs a couple of ifdefs, no big deal.

      there are plenty of hidpi bugs that were only fixed in 5.12 ... 5.15 though. Even 5.12 is still a big mess with e.g. 125% scaling on windows - text will scale but not images, things like that

        I have been able to work around issues as far as necessary.

        Yeah, just today i noticed top-right-corner icons in QMdiArea are an absolute mess in the build I have, they get so tiny then big on cursor hover then tiny again...
