Is there a specific reason to upgrade to mageia 7.1 and not 8? Qt 5.15 is available in the official repos for mageia 8 while for mageia 7.1 it is 5.12 and we would have to build Qt 5.15.
yes there is. the libc version to use when AppImage bundle contents is compiled must be an older version for binary compatibility with other Linux systems.
Currently Mageia6 is used. This OS has not been maintained since a while but the GCC version is enough recent to compile all Qt5, KF5, and DK codes.
This will be the same with Mageia7 which will become unmaintained in the near future to promote Mageia 8. This last one is too much recent to make a large compatible AppImage with all current Linux.
