Create an account and logon. Qt Account Login

Then you can download a qt6.run file [download qt6]
(https://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers/qt-online-installer-linux-arm64-online.run)

chmod +x qt-online-installer-linux-arm64-online.run

sudo ./qt-online-installer-linux-arm64-online.run

and it makes you login and, I think I remember, pick open source and then it installs it.
