The table of Qt versions shows which versions have been used in Wireshark

specific Linux distributions is a bit more of an artform but can be gleaned
from the tables further down.


Ah, I see, yes I misread the table and interpreted the bold versions as
minimum requirements. I just took a look and  updated the RHEL/CentOS and
SLES information. Looking at the rest of the tables, Debian Jesse just went
end of support, so Ubuntu xenial (16.04LTS, end of support April 2021)
being at 5.5.x is I think the oldest QT in a still officially supported
distribution on that page. After that there's several at 5.6.x.

I reckon that QT 5.9 is fine for every distro's most recent LTS release,
and 5.6 is fine for every distro's N-1 LTS release. Personally I'd be fine
with moving master to 5.9 (which also settles requiring C+11), but I could
understand 5.6.
