Ubuntu install instructions still referenced qtbase5-dev, but the project
has fully migrated to Qt6. Update to qt6-base-dev to match the build system,
CI workflows, and all other platform instructions. Also fix the USE_SYSTEM_QT
option comment that still said QT5.

The link to Julian's Reddit account works
I do wonder if it should be directly to the quote, but on the other hand, the link sends you to ALL of his posts and for informational purposes that's better

Thanks for updating this Ayrton 🍻
