Thanks to WSL, supporting Linux likely means it will just work on Windows 10, of course it's good to check.

Have you missed the license debacle?

I believe their LGPL license would apply.
Definitely worth digging into the details.
Your target audience is mostly likely Windows or Linux.

The LGPL licensed sources are here.

Qt has two licenses, a commercial one and the LGPL.
If you want support and the latest & greatest versions/updates/patches, you buy a commercial license. Nothing wrong with that.
If you don't want to pay but you still want to sell closed source software, you can use the LGPL'ed Qt shared libs (.so/.dll).
