I think this has to do with the fact that I did not change the id/name of the
application.
It's still called "org.qgis.qgis"...
Maybe I should call it something like "org.qgis.qgis.next" or so?
"org.qgis.qgis.qt6'?
Then I think it will not conflict with the normal flatpak qgis...

Thank you, this is super useful!
Is there a way to make it not mask my system QGIS? After I installed this on Manjaro or Ubuntu, it
took over "QGIS" in the launcher menu. The only way I could still run my normal QGIS was
via "qgis" in the terminal.
I expect this to be some configuration setting of flatpak itself, but found
literally nothing via Google. So maybe it is something flatpak build specific
or my Google fu has broken.

Hi,
Based on the excellent Flatpak work of Aleix Pol
(https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis), I managed to create a runnable Qt6
build of QGIS for Linux's (with flatpak available)
My idea is that Linux users of distro's without the needed dependencies can run
QGIS and test/update their Python plugins with this build.
This flatpak build (master) is (thanks to Aleix!) having 3D and PDAL/cloudpoint
available too.
Note that this is my first flatpak build, probably things go/are wrong, and I'm
not sure how to do further/future distribution...
But for now: to run/try it:
Download the single-bundle file from
http://duif.net/qgis-qt6.flatpak
If you do not have flatpak/flathub available, make sure you do by doing the
steps at
https://flatpak.org/setup/ for your distro, to
1) install flatpak and
2) make the flathub repo available for needed runtimes and sdk's.
Now go to the qgis-qt6.flatpak file and INSTALL it:
flatpak install --runtime --include-sdk qgis-qt6.flatpak
(this will install the KDE runtime and sdk and then finally the qgis-qt6 system
wide)
Then to run it:
flatpak run org.qgis.qgis
I hope this is useful for anybody.
Have to talk to Aleix for more finesses to maybe share this on flathub or with
his Qt5 build.
If you want to build it yourself there is some info in:
https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis/issues/428

Richard Duivenvoorde
