Imagine offering prebuilt generic Qt versions in a mountable disk image, similar to older offline Qt installers for macOS (example). This generic version of Qt would include most popular modules (e.g., qtbase, qtdeclarative, qtmultimedia). However, instead of a large installation executable, the image file would contain a directory with an already-installed Qt, ready to mount and use immediately. We could mount the image file as a read-only file system (e.g., via FUSE on Linux) and use it immediately. This mountable prebuilt installation would significantly enhance overall installation speed.
If there is already an option for this and I missed it, I apologize in advance.
