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.

Is gtk not backward compatible with older version?
New main versions of software usually is not compatible with old versions. That's one of the points of new main versions. You cannot load Qt 3 themes into Qt 6 either.
No. GTK 3 was a breaking change, and so was 4.
Additionally, I think 3.18 onward doesn't even support theming engines. As said, though, GIMP is stuck on GTK2.
If you're having a lot of trouble, perhaps just go with the Flatpak.
They tend to use different theming engines each major version, so I don't believe they are.
