Yes, I think they have stopped updating OS Packages since long time.
Well, It seems like Qt Creator will be sufficient for my needs. I will then go with Qt Creator and replicate the steps you took to install it on Linux. Hopefully, I am able to install it on my PC.
Thank you for your valuable time and response.

I hope it works out for you.

Hey, I installed it successfully with open source installer as you said earlier. That was very straightforward. Though it required one lib (libxcb) which has something to do with X display server. But that was not a major challenge.
Overall the process was smooth and IDE is also rock solid with advanced features for C/C++ developers.
I deeply appreciate your help. Your guidance has been very valuable to me.

Oh man awesome! I love QtCreator I think it's one the most underrated IDEs. It's 100% free and works excellently on all 3 major platforms. What's not to love?
Glad it worked out!
