If you really meant 4.4.x then this is false

Many distributions, in particular Debian, Ubuntu (especially LTS releases), and their derivatives don't provide up-to-date Qt packages in their repositories or are very slow in updating them.
In such cases, you must get them from somewhere else, such as the official installer from the [Qt website](https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer) (unfortunately, this method requires the creation of an account, but you can just use a throwaway email), or a PPA you trust in the case of Ubuntu and other distributions that support that installation method.

For Debian and Ubuntu versions that include sufficiently up-to-date Qt packages, you can just install the following packages from the official repositories:

```bash
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev libqt5svg5-dev
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev qt6-svg-dev
```
