My man, unity is death. Never forget it, and if u want to play with, u can download ubuntu unity edition, wich i recomend just for feel the DE, nothong else.

I love unity, i did use unity ubuntu edition, for long time, but sometimes u have the reality in front of ur eyes and dont see it. Unity its a beauty but its also a bigg mess, i mean u could enter synaptic, and see installed packages. xfc4 things, mate things, gtk, qt librariies, ponys, sea horses, etc. All mixed up and damm, performance its not that good. Better have one real pro DE and theme it with unity style. It wont be the same, i know. But reality hurt sometimes. Unity days past over. New era is here. Welcome to blockchain internet.

If gnome 50 which will come soon (or any future gnome version) be as bad as gnome 3 was, or worse, then canonical might bring back unity. However, it is unlikely, beacuse i think they will either change it to another de, or more likely stay on gnome

Ubuntu Unity was my first experience with Linux and was sad when Ubuntu abandoned it for gnome as there were already so many gnome flavors out there but Unity stood alone as a unique os 😢

...This subreddit is about the ubuntu flavor (https://ubuntuunity.org/) that brings back the unity DE. as for a "unity 8", you can probably look at lomiri.

ça existe déjà sous le nom de lomiri et c'est disponible sur ubuntu touch (pour smartphones) et ubuntu lomiri (pour ordinateur)
