If you're on Linux, then it's very easy to compile LyX yourself

Sure. Was the 1st thing I did ;)

git clone https://git.lyx.org/repos/lyx.git
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-qt6 --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt6/

but this has issues already at that level:
All of the following .configure messages are beyond me, cause I got a Qt v6.8.2 on the Tumbleweed machine and have all of the Qt5 and Qt6 dev-tools installed
- Why does lyx state: Qt Frontend: Qt version: 5.15.16

Because it defaults to using Qt 5.x if it finds it.

- Why does lyx state: Unable to configure Qt6/Qt5 with qmake (qmake6 and qmake-qt5 are both in my PATH)

Make sure that the devel packages are installed.

- Why does lyx state: moc compiler is for Qt 6.8.2 but the Qt library version is 5.15.16. (Qt6 libraries are installed. Why claim this v5.15.16)

Use --enable-qt6 if you want to compile with Qt6. There can be issues with Qt version detection.
