If your host platform is Desktop Linux but your favorite Linux distribution is not listed in [https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/supported-platforms.html the official documentation] then don't worry: Many distributions have ready compiled packages and in case not, you can compile Qt from source. Almost '''all modern Desktop Linux distributions are suitable host and target platforms'''. | |||

Qt can be used for application development for a wide range of target platforms, like:
- Desktop: Linux, macOS, Windows
- Embedded and RTOS: Linux, QNX, VxWorks, Windows
- Mobile: Android, iOS, Windows
For in depth information and more exotic platforms see the official documentation: Supported Platforms. See also Supported Devices.
Even if not listed there, with some extra work you may also be able to target platforms like:
- Various BSDs
- Haiku
- Windows versions older than Windows XP
Depending on your target you'll need a suitable host platform. For specific information see the lists of supported platforms mentioned above. For a quick overview see the following table:
| Target | Host |
|---|---|
| Desktop | |
| Desktop Linux | Desktop Linux |
| macOS | macOS |
| Windows 7 or higher | Windows 7 or higher |
| Embedded, RTOS | |
| Embedded Linux | Desktop Linux |
| QNX | Desktop Linux Windows 7 or higher |
| VxWorks | Desktop Linux Windows 7 or higher |
| Windows Embedded 7 | Windows 7 or higher |
| Mobile | |
| Android | Desktop Linux macOS Windows 7 or higher |
| iOS | macOS |
| Windows Phone | Windows 8 or higher |
| Windows RT | Windows 8 or higher |
If your host platform is Desktop Linux but your favorite Linux distribution is not listed in the official documentation then don't worry: Many distributions have ready compiled packages and in case not, you can compile Qt from source. Almost all modern Desktop Linux distributions are suitable host and target platforms.
