At the very least, remove the offending commentary, including my own.
I'm not going to remove anything as I do not see any offending posts in this thread. And you are not the one who got that reply, I'm quite sure @FPChris can talk for himself.
I also don't consider the post from @Christian-Ehrlicher to be offending, just somewhat "unfriendly".
Up to you to feel offended by such posts. I don't and I will not spend more of my time discussing this.And again: if you see need for such a discussion open a thread in https://forum.qt.io/category/7/the-lounge instead of putting it here, because it is off-topic here.

They really need to default check a version of Qt. Totally confusing.
But this is not really possible as it depends on what compiler you want to use and if you want to use
windows apps or Arm boards or both :)So randomly selecting a toolchain is not the right design for a tool targeting developers.
"Default" helpers exist, as of half a year ago: https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-online-installer-4.1.1-released

@Christian-Ehrlicher Perhaps as a GraPHicAL USeR INterFaCe framework, Qt needs to learn a bit about what's a reasonable default, and stop trying to confuse its users in the very first bit at the installation process. Or maybe your UI logic has always been "my users MUST be smart enough to get everything right even when the default is completely misleading"? This might explain why there are so many hard-to-use apps out there.

See the screenshot in my last post.
Welcome, by the way. Nice way to make an entrance.

@puflin I complete agree with your sentiment. We should strive to make things as easy as possible for end-users, not say "oh, is that too hard for you?" whenever they suggest how to make things easier. That's a great way to get fired from companies that actually care about design and putting out state-of-the-art products.
I completely agree with your assessment of some members in the FOSS community, as well.
It's sad that someone else chastised you for being new, when the other person wasn't being helpful at all.
Keep up the good work, and don't let these people bring you down with their tunnel-vision and gatekeeping. It's not healthy for the community.

For the record: I encountered the same situation after 2 years. I thought it was caused by another problem that already existed and struggled for 1 hour so thanks for the answer.
Custom installation should definitely include a warning. And I hope the community is not always full of friends like the ones above.
Record over.

Same here. Just downloaded the latest release from the official page, and there were no options for installing these so-called 'kits' along the installation process.

@Jalim_Rabei Kits is a QtCreator thing. You just need to install Qt and in case you installed Qt for MinGW on Windows also MinGW. QtCreator will detect installed Qt versions and compilers and create Kits. You can modify these Kits or create new Kits by yourself if needed.
