Getting all your configuration into ansible, puppet or the like is a bit of work but a real benefit when it's time to upgrade.
I despise Gnome 3+, and prefer Mate. Someone (EPEL ??) built Mate for C7, but
the
existing binaries for C8 don't work very well, there are none that I
know
of for C9, and AFAIK Rocky is the only Centos clone that supports
Mate.
I'm using Mate on Rocky 9 at work and on CentOS 8 stream on my laptop. Works fine for what I need.
Is it possible to use ansible, puppet or the like to do this on an existing system?
