Maybe we should make the defaults +qt +lua +pangocairo and remove x11 as the web page suggests - we could also add qt6 as a variant. From http://www.gnuplot.info/ReleaseNotes_6_0_1.html:

The 6.0 source code supports three primary cross-platform interactive modes in addition to several platform-specific modes.

Qt

The qt terminal supports interactive display with menu-driven output to png, svg or pdf. If either Qt6 or Qt5 is detected by the configure script, this will be the default terminal. It is now the fastest and most full-featured interactive terminal option.

To disable this terminal or force use of Qt5 even if Qt6 is present
    ./configure --with-qt=qt5
    ./configure --without-qt 
Cairo/pango/wxWidgets

This set of terminals includes pngcairo, pdfcairo, epscairo, and cairolatex for output to a file. The wxt terminal provides interactive display All of these will be built by default if the configuration script finds the required libcairo, libpango, libcairo, libwxgtk, and related support libraries

To disable these terminals:
    ./configure --without-cairo
    ./configure --with-cairo --disable-wxwidgets 
X11 (the "classic" interactive interface)

This used to be the preferred interactive interface, but the newer wxt and qt terminals offer nicer output and a wider range of features.

@markemer : I did take up your suggestion to replace +x11 by +qt in the default_variants, as that is indeed what the developers favour.
I did not add a +qt6 variant, as I have no experience with it.

Cool. We can do that later. This'll work.
