Installation on Fedora 35 fails due to conflicts

Following the instruction from the README.md I get the following:

▶ sudo rpm --reinstall mutter-41.1-2.fc35.x86_64.rpm
[sudo] password for marcin:

I see that the mutter that I have installed on my system is newer than the one provided in the RPM. How to go around that? How to handle future updates to mutter?

You can try sudo rpm -U mutter-41.1-2.fc35.x86_64.rpm to install it.

Just sudo dnf downgrade mutter-41.1-2.fc35.x86_64.rpm
