That sounds mostly reasonable. I guess I could come up with a crazy case
like 'the version in ansible has some problem that wasn't noticed, so I
want to keep the seperate collection on a older version until it's
fixed' though.

[EPEL-devel] Cinnamon Desktop for EPEL 9 now in testing

[Yaakov Selkowitz]

If COPR's stats are to be believed, some of you have found my cinnamon-epel
repo.  Please note that these packages are now available in epel-testing:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-bfed058207

To test, on top of a Server with GUI: 

dnf install --enablerepo=epel-testing cinnamon xed xreader

(If you already installed from my COPR, disable/remove that repo and then try
dnf distro-sync... instead of dnf install...)

Then, choose either the Cinnamon or Cinnamon (Software Rendering) desktop
options in your display manager.

HTH,
