### Prebuilt tarball (distro-agnostic) (EXPERIMENTAL)
looqs is also distributed as a tarball containing prebuilt binaries and its library dependencies. The tarball is
built with the Gentoo Hardened toolchain and the Qt version is smaller than what distributions usually
built using the Gentoo Hardened toolchain and the Qt version is smaller than what distributions usually
include. It does not include libraries that should mess with fontrendering or the graphics stack. The binaries should run on any recent Linux distribution (requires glibc 2.34 or newer at least) and expects
dependencies such as libGL to be provided by your distribution already (should be the case).
It's considered experimental for two reasons. Firstly, looqs has no updater (yet). You will have to manually check for updates. Secondly, I can't guarantee that I'll be quick with updates of the tarball specifically
if the library versions become outdated between looqs updates.

You are therefore encouraged to use distro-native packages or to build it yourself if possible.
