This is what I get trying to open anki (Qt6) after installation  
I am not much aware what it means, maybe some Qt6 issue, maybe some missing dependencies…

Anki starting…  
Initial setup…  
Running with temporary Qt5 compatibility shims.  
Run with DISABLE\_QT5\_COMPAT=1 to confirm compatibility with Qt6.  
Preparing to run…  
File "\<string\>", line 1, in \<module\>  
File "aqt", line 489, in run  
File "aqt", line 556, in \_run  
File "aqt.profiles", line 133, in setupMeta  
File "aqt.profiles", line 413, in \_loadMeta  
resetting corrupt \_global  
Qt info: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.  
Qt fatal: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: linuxfb, eglfs, offscreen, vkkhrdisplay, xcb, vnc, wayland, minimalegl, wayland-egl, minimal.

Aborted (core dumped)
