Rudra Saraswat has announced the release of Ubuntu Unity 23.10, un updated version of the project's Ubuntu flavour featuring the Unity7 desktop environment: "Ubuntu Unity 23.10 'Mantic Minotaur' has now been released. Ubuntu Unity 23.10 continues to use Unity 7.7, which has undergone maintenance. Our primary focus for this release has been to gradually migrate away from Nux in UnityX, which is progressing well. Nux is holding us back from offering Wayland support without Xwayland. We were also pre-occupied with adding support for CUPS 2.0 in Unity (printing), which has now been pushed back by Ubuntu to 24.04. A Lomiri variant of Ubuntu Unity is also in progress, and was supposed to be released today. Unfortunately, some app launcher-related bugs held us back, and we’re unable to make it available for download with the release announcement, but we hope to be able to do so within the next few days."

Rudra Saraswat has announced the availability of Ubuntu Unity 23.04, a new version of the official Ubuntu flavour featuring the Unity desktop. The new release upgrades Unity to version 7.7: "Ubuntu Unity 23.04 'Lunar Lobster' has now been released. It is the first distribution to ship Unity 7.7 out of the box, and brings many improvements to the table, including: a brand-new dash, similar to that displayed in the concepts designed for Ubuntu 16.04; a slightly bigger panel, that is translucent by default and looks much better in light mode; indicator-notification is installed by default, and allows you to see any notifications that may have popped up while you were away; the official widgets implementation, UWidgets, is now supported. And some changes: the Settings app's shell UI has been drastically improved; the launcher BFB is now half-transparent, and fits in with the rest of the default Yaru icons, similar to Ubuntu Unity's custom BFB for Unity 7.5 in 21.04." Continue to the release announcement for further information. Download: ubuntu-unity-23.04-desktop-amd64.iso (3,141MB, SHA256, signature, torrent, pkglist). |

Rudra Saraswat has announced the release of Ubuntu Unity 22.10, the project's first release as one of Ubuntu's official editions. Ubuntu Unity brings back the controversial Unity desktop used by Ubuntu as the default user interface until 2017; it had plenty of detractors, but seemingly also many fans: "The Ubuntu Unity 22.10 has now been released; it is the first stable release of Ubuntu Unity as an official flavor. It introduces a new toggle from the panel to switch between the dark and light theme, and between accent colors. It also replaces all the libadwaita apps with MATE alternatives. The ISO image is much smaller, at 2.8GB. The RAM usage has also gone down significantly (around 650MB when idle). You can now install Ubuntu Unity on an existing Ubuntu installation by removing gnome-shell and other GNOME apps, and then installing the ubuntu-unity-desktop package (all the Ubuntu Unity packages are now in universe in the official Ubuntu archive, and no longer in a PPA). We're actively working on adding new features to Unity7, such as support for different refresh rates in unity-settings-daemon, and even replacing such old components and apps and the indicators with the ayatana-* packages. We are working on adding extension support to the Unity shell." Read the full release announcement for additional details.
