my most millennial opinion is that if your app needs more than 100MB there's probably something wrong

pro tip if you're bundling the qt libraries with your app only bundle the ones you're actually using, qt is an everything framework

better yet consider static linking (is this heretical of me to say)

@hikari Well Anki is also quite infamous between packagers as something that's horribly cursed.

Like for a while it used Bazel, which pretty much nobody wants to touch.

@hikari Yeah, specially in corporate environments, making me think it's more a higher-ups choice than a developers choice.
