Strange behavior with Librem5 VM

Hardware Librem 5

Qt version in PureOS Amber (based on Debian Buster) is too old for sensible Wayland support (it doesn’t even support stable xdg-shell).

To run Qt applications, you have two options:

  1. Use Flatpak. Recent Qt versions should work just fine.
  2. Run Qt apps with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb env var set to make them run via XWayland.

Once we switch to Byzantium (based on Debian Bullseye), Qt apps should work natively again as well.
