Ubuntu Unity is broken and needs new maintainers |
 |
Some of our readers may have noticed that in the flood of Ubuntu 25.10 releases, Ubuntu Unity was missing from the collection of community editions. This is because the Ubuntu Unity project did not publish a 25.10 release last month when most other flavours of Ubuntu did. There is a good reason for this, the two developers who were maintaining Ubuntu Unity have, for the most part, stopped working on the project. "With me gone for a longer period and Rudra not having the time, sadly resulted in bugs not getting fixed and things not getting tested properly or at all from my point of view. If i'm not mistaken the ISO's are being automatically generated and tested with no human interaction.
As you all know, we didn't have a Ubuntu Unity 25.10 stable release this time around because we found critical bugs that prevented us from marking the ISO as ready. But these bugs are also present when you upgrade from 25.04 to 25.10 or try to install the Unity desktop on top of another flavor. I also know that there's more going on since the past few releases of Ubuntu Unity from 24.10 onward which needed patching, fixing but didn't happen due lack of time and man power. In short: It got worse, Unity is broken and needs to be fixed." The project is looking for new maintainers who can help fix the bugs and get the community edition back on track.
