    Description

      When installing Debian images for aarch64, it requires installation of qt6.7.0-gtk-platformtheme which pulls in X11 dependencies. This means that user who wants to use Wayland needs to pipe the application through X11 to Wayland emulation. This results in a longer latency and worse graphical performance on the target device. This problem is not present when using open-source packages from official Ubuntu repository.

       

      Difference between linked libraries, installed packages and compile time error when building without gtk-platformtheme are listed in the user provided gist below

      Acceptance criteria:

      As a user, when I install Qt commercial packages, I would like to be able to run an application with Wayland backend and without X11 emulation.
