You remember Unity, right? Well, Ubuntu Unity Remix brought back good old memories for me, back when Unity was a thing and promised to be the future of the Linux desktop. But it didn’t happen, at least not on the Linux desktop, as Canonical decided to terminate the project. However, Unity is still a thing on mobile devices, thanks to UBports which continue the development of Unity 8 under the Lomiri umbrella. But one should not confuse Unity 7 with Unity 8.
