Can you lock a driver or package version so it doesn't automatically update?

Displaylink + Nvidia Card (startrek.website)

I was excited to install Linux on my desktop system. Since I'm working from home with my office laptop, I got a displaylink dock that I can easily switch between laptop and desktop.

After setting everything up with Ubuntu 22.04 I had it all working. A few days later I installed software updates, including an update for the driver for my graphics card, a Nvidia 3070, and then the problems started. I had to hook up a monitor again with a direct cable and fix the driver and again the displaylink. The same thing happened later again. I went with the recommended proprietary driver from Ubuntu. I believe i started with version 525 or 535.

To my frustration, in Windows it all works happily together, survives driver updates, etc.

Is this even a viable setup for a Linux machine where I don't have to tinker every time there is a driver update?

I'm not a novice, I find my way around, but I do want a stable system.

I chose the Nvidia card mostly because I'm dabbing in machine learning.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any advice I get.
