Hi everybody,

Before upgrading to a newer OS it might be an option to use a current

a huge favor by exploring that possibility and providing information
about it for the Wiki.
This is sort of a two part question, since I’m unsure whether to just
upgrade (i.e. reinstall) the OS or figure out installing QtWebEngine in
16.04.
I want to spend as little time as possible on maintaining/upgrading the
OS. So I’m reluctant to ditch 16.04 just yet. Should I bite the bullet
and take the time to install 18.04? Does it make sense to skip 18 and
wait for 20.04 in April?
If I should try within 16.04, here’s some sites I checked out on a brief
search:
<https://askubuntu.com/questions/912830/libqt5webengine5-for-16-04> –
the ppa mentioned there doesn’t exist anymore
<https://forum.qt.io/topic/83394/installing-qt5-webengine-ubuntu-16-04>
– the answers here seem to suggest setting up a whole different route of
installing Qt, which seems like overkill
<https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-building.html> – this also seems like
overkill if all I need is the ‘subpackage’ QtWebEngine
I’m sorry this is somewhat helpless on my part—I do these things far too
rarely to get by sensibly…
Best, Simon
