Sure.

But to be clear: we're saying the MINIMUM versions of GCC and Clang for Qt 6.0 
are 9.0. GCC 9 was released in May 2019 and LLVM 9 was released in September 
2019. 

Apple Clang in the current XCode does NOT support it.

Versions of mainstream Linux distributions with GCC 9:
* Debian: testing
* Fedora: 30
* openSUSE: 15.2
* Ubuntu: 19.10
(Arch, Clear, Gentoo are rolling releases)

If you're not working from home, go around in the office and ask who's running 
anything older.
