I hope to move up from 22.04 LTS Jammy to 24.04 LTS Noble-Numbat when the .1 version is issued sometime in August.
From looking on the Ubuntu forums, it seems that 6.2.4 is the latest in Jammy updates. Lunar and Mantic have 6.4.2 so it would appear that Noble should have at least 6.4.2.
From comments, it seems that Qt6 is considered 'bleeding edge' and Debian-based distros tend to avoid using bleeding edge libraries.
Perhaps the next problem will be to find how to build the QT6 in Ubuntu?
