Restarting Cinnamon Desktop in Fedora 28+
On a local system,
Ctrl + Alt + Esc can halt the current session and restart (I think).
Alt + F2, then type r and press enter. This will open up a new work space to restart Cinnamon.
On a remote terminal,
$ pkill -HUP -f "cinnamon --replace"
This will restart Cinnamon without affecting applications.
Due to high resource utilization caused by Cinnamon over time, you may need to also kill the cinnamon-session process as well. On multiple installations, this has freed up most of the used system resources (CPU and Memory) consumed by the cinnamon-session process.
$ ps -A | grep cinnamon or
$ ps -A | grep cinnamon-session
Or, from within top or htop
k for kill, enter cinnamon-session PID, then 15.
