I don't think the qt update forces a KDE rebuild, but I'm not 100% |
| 23 |
certain on that. |

Sure, just switch to a git repo and checkout a previous commit. |

I doubt that. If you think rebuilding KDE is painful then trying to |
| 35 |
hold back the tide of upgrades is going to be something else entirely. |

I've never really had issues with KDE, but I don't really use many of |
| 46 |
the KDE applications, such as kmail/koffice/etc. I also have baloo |
| 47 |
disabled (I think - that thing is like a zombie that never quite |
| 48 |
dies). |

However, it really is an integrated set of packages. When it wants to |
| 51 |
update all 150 of them, best to just let it. You can always save |
| 52 |
binary packages to make it easier to go back, or use snapshots/etc at |
| 53 |
the filesystem level. However, there is really no getting around the |
| 54 |
forward march of progress on Gentoo. I'm running it on a Phenom II |
| 55 |
and sure the updates can be slow (just waiting for full Ryzen support |
| 56 |
on a longterm kernel to make the jump). |

A release-based distro has a different set of tradeoffs but it would |
| 59 |
generally result in you always staying on a stable version of KDE, for |
| 60 |
the small selection of distros that support KDE well. |
