From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can you freeze kde version while keeping the rest up-to-date? (Genuine question, I assumed that wasn't possible)

Technically yes, but you'll probably break your system because it's a lot of work to keep track of which packages depend on what manually.

The best way to do this would use some sort of immutable distro with a frozen KDE version instead
