- | After his obituary was published in the New York Journal in 1897, American writer Mark Twain famously wrote, “the report of my death was an exaggeration.” The same could be said for Unity, the user interface created by Canonical, and first fielded as the default interface in Ubuntu 11.04. The project was intended to lead to Unity version 8, the holy grail of interfaces that would run on everything from cell phones, tablets and laptops to desktops as part of a goal of “convergence”. | + | **After his obituary was published in the New York Journal in 1897, American writer Mark Twain famously wrote, “the report of my death was an exaggeration.” The same could be said for Unity, the user interface created by Canonical, and first fielded as the default interface in Ubuntu 11.04.

Instead, Unity was axed after its final appearance in Ubuntu 17.04, as Ubuntu moved to Gnome 3 and its Gnome Shell interface, a move that ended the convergence dream and marked an attempt to reign in developer costs, too. | Instead, Unity was axed after its final appearance in Ubuntu 17.04, as Ubuntu moved to Gnome 3 and its Gnome Shell interface, a move that ended the convergence dream and marked an attempt to reign in developer costs, too. | ||

These rumblings hadn’t produced many tangible results until recently, with the release of Ubuntu Unity 20.04 LTS, an unofficial Ubuntu “flavor” that combines the best of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with the Unity 7 interface. | These rumblings hadn’t produced many tangible results until recently, with the release of Ubuntu Unity 20.04 LTS, an unofficial Ubuntu “flavor” that combines the best of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with the Unity 7 interface. | ||

- | What is probably the most remarkable aspect of this story is that this Ubuntu remix is developed by an Ubuntu team member, Rudra Saraswat, who is also a Linux Foundation Certified Developer. He lives near New Delhi, India and is ten years old. He started using Ubuntu 17.04 with Unity 7 when he was eight years old. He really liked it, was disappointed when it was discontinued, | + | What is probably the most remarkable aspect of this story is that this Ubuntu remix is developed by an Ubuntu team member, Rudra Saraswat, who is also a Linux Foundation Certified Developer.

- | Saraswat engaged in a number of Twitter surveys of Ubuntu users to create this new distribution. He decided to go with Nemo as the file manager, as it is a fork of Nautilus that reincorporated many of the needed features that Nautilus dropped a few years back such as an “up one level” button and “open as root”. Nautilus is still included by default, as I suspect it cannot be easily removed from the Gnome desktop without breaking things, but Nemo is the file manager of choice on the Unity launcher and is a better file manager than Nautilus anyway. | + | Après l' |

Saraswat also eschewed Ubuntu’s Gnome Display Manager and replaced it with LightDM instead, which provides the Unity sign-in. He designed a new logo and new wallpaper which gives Ubuntu Unity its own distinctive “Ubuntu family” look. Otherwise, the release is fairly “stock” and Unity 7.5.0 is little changed from its Ubuntu 17.04 days. | Saraswat also eschewed Ubuntu’s Gnome Display Manager and replaced it with LightDM instead, which provides the Unity sign-in.

There are future plans for this distro, as Saraswat is hoping that Ubuntu Unity will be accepted as an official Ubuntu flavor.

These days Ubuntu’s mainstream release has only three window themes, while Ubuntu Unity provides a choice of five: the default Yaru theme with Papirus icons, plus Adwaita, Ambiance, Radiance and High Contrast. Ambiance and Radiance are the classic dark and light Ubuntu themes that will look very familiar to any longtime Ubuntu user. | These days Ubuntu’s mainstream release has only three window themes, while Ubuntu Unity provides a choice of five: the default Yaru theme with Papirus icons, plus Adwaita, Ambiance, Radiance and High Contrast.
