"kmail" is similarly afflicted with a dependency on the QT5-based web engine viewer. The irony here is especially thick... Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, we used to protest "not all the world is a VAX". Fast-forward to 2017+, and we now have the exact same bias toward Intel chipsets and clones. I suppose the bias is a bit more justified in the present day, since Apple threw in the towel a few years ago on desktop/notebook computers, and Android-compatible hardware makes up the bulk of the rest of what's likely to be owned by the typical end-user. --Bob
