There was a problem hiding this comment.
Would you mind adding indentation to this function like others? or any reason the spaces cannot be placed there?

This adds an additional nightly build package for Linux that uses Qt 6, similar to what is already done on other platforms. Because linuxdeployqt is no longer actively maintained and isn't certain to work with newer Qt 6 versions, this build uses linuxdeploy instead. This provides an opportunity for our users to both test Qt 6 and this new bundling tool for AppImages. After any bugs with linuxdeploy get ironed out, then we can fully transition to it (see #1574).
