Rudra Saraswat has announced the release of Ubuntu Unity 22.10, the project's first release as one of the official Ubuntu releases.
Ubuntu Unity brings back the Unity desktop used by Ubuntu as default user interface until 2017. Unity DE (desktop environment) had many critics, but also many fans.
“Ubuntu Unity 22.10 has been released, it is the first stable version of Ubuntu Unity as an official flavor. It brings a new shift from the painting between dark and light subject matter and between colors.”
It also replaces all libadwaita apps with alternatives from MATE. ISOs are much smaller, at 2,8GB. RAM usage is also significantly reduced (about 650 MB when the system is idle).
Now you can install Ubuntu Unity on an existing one install ubuntu removing gnome-shell and other GNOME applications. You can then install the ubuntu-unity-desktop package (all Ubuntu Unity packages are now in the official Ubuntu archive and no longer in PPA).
Developers are preparing for the procase νέων λειτουργιών στο Unity7, όπως υποστήριξη για διαφορετικούς ρυθμούς ανανέωσης στο unity-settings-daemon, even to replace old components and applications and also hints with ayatana-* packages. They are also preparing to add extension support to the Unity shell.
