It would be really nice if SparkyLinux had a Cinnamon Desktop!!!!!!!
Hi...
Cinnamon is broken in Debian Testing at the moment.
The Mint team is working on an Update Pack (9) for their LMDE right now, as soon as that's done, I believe they play to backport it to LMDE. Then it could be very possibly installed by adding their repo, but too early for that right now.
Stay tuned... 8)
EDIT:
Actually the new version 2.2 appears to be in SID right now. Meaning it soon should be down to us in Debian Testing.
