The last two releases, 24.04 LTS and 24.10, introduced very little that was new. That seemed to indicate that as of 2024 at least, the developers had Ubuntu Unity just about where they wanted it. Much of their effort in that year was reported to be on Ubuntu Lomiri, a test and development project using the Lomiri (Unity 8) desktop in an attempt to get Ubuntu Unity ready for the switch to a Wayland display server environment from its current X11. | The last two releases, 24.04 LTS and 24.10, introduced very little that was new.

- | I did find some new things inherited from Ubuntu upstream. As with all the other Ubuntu 25.04 flavors, Ubuntu Unity 25.04 uses the 6.14 version of the Linux kernel and that includes new hardware support. The initialization system has also been upgraded to systemd 257.4. That was no surprise, though, as Ubuntu Unity has been using systemd since its inception with no noted issues. | + | I did find some new things inherited from Ubuntu upstream.

So...I think this mystery is solved. What the release announcement is really telling us is that, even though Ubuntu Unity 25.04 is a pretty flawless release with a few new puffin wallpapers and some updated application versions, it has very little else new that is worth mentioning, so they didn’t. Users may want to wait for the LTS to upgrade, unless they have new hardware requiring a new Linux kernel. | So...I think this mystery is solved.
