Description

This session will present the current status of Qt6 support in Taurus and discuss its implications for application development and deployment.

We will review the main changes introduced to support Qt6, highlighting compatibility considerations and practical experience using different Python bindings (PyQt and PySide). The session will also cover the Taurus Qt abstraction layer (Qt shim), which enables binding-independent development.

In addition, we will explore how Taurus applications behave in modern Linux environments, including Wayland-based systems, reduced X11 support, and remote access solutions such as RDP and Waypipe.
