If not, the only solution is a hardware upgrade be it just a new processor or a new motherboard/processor/memory.

Running Linux will not change a thing if it is the processor. It would not have the needed instructions to run Qt5.
If you have a Socket 775 P4 or newer Pentium then you will have no trouble running QT5.
