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.

As someone who hasn't touched KDE in years, can someone fill me in: How did you previously select a folder without opening it?
Snark aside, this is probably a more common solution than using Ctrl-click or clicking the tiny "+" icon as was intended.
Drag a selection box around it, or use ctrl. Or right click.
There's a symbol at the top left of the file or directory icon to select the item rather than open. It's stays there even if you have double click to open
Control + Left click
If you have a list, click on the item to open, click next to it to select.
