    Just a note to anyone using this guide or installing on any other up-to-date distro. ShowEQ's support for Qt5 is still a bit experimental. I expect it to work without too many issues, but there may still be bugs. If you run into bugs or issues, please report them so they can be tracked and eventually fixed. This is especially important if the bug exists under Qt5 but not under Qt4.

    Thanks.

    I've had zero problems running ShowEQ with the above setup. No crashes or seg faults.

    Cool. Yeah, I don't really expect crashes, but more graphical issues like stuff being out of place, or windows not behaving properly. Though I know there's some weirdness in even the Qt4 version (like with column sorting in some windows).
