Unity Desktop 是由 Canonical 构建的经典桌面环境，它从 2010 年到 2017 年是 Ubuntu 的一部分，但为了支持 GNOME 而放弃。


我们认为它永远被杀死了。但它卷土重来。


今年早些时候，自 2016 年 5 月上次更新以来，经过长达 6 年的时间，Unity 的改进版本发布了。


开发由一位年轻的开发人员 [Rudra Saraswat](https://about.ruds.io) 带头，他也是 [Ubuntu Unity](https://about.ruds.io) 的创建者，它现在是 Ubuntu 的官方版本。


Unity 7.6 的发布标志着大量改进的到来。


而且，更进一步，Unity 7.6 已可用于 Arch Linux。开发者提到：

### 在 Arch Linux 上试用 Unity 7.6

首先，你必须确保你已经安装了 Arch Linux。


然后你可以按照以下步骤在 Arch Linux 上运行 Unity 7.6：


安装 [Paru](https://itsfoss.com/paru-aur-helper/)，它是一个 AUR 助手。


使用 `paru -S unity-installer-arch` 安装名为 `unity-installer-arch` 的脚本。


在 TTY/终端窗口中运行 `unity-installer-arch`。


选择 “<ruby> 安装 Unity 桌面 <rt>  Install Unity desktop </rt></ruby>”。


将默认显示管理器更改为 `lightdm`。


使用 `unity-greeter` 作为默认登录界面。


我的同事 Sreenath 尝试了一下，在安装过程中，由于多重依赖冲突，他不得不从全新的 Arch 开始。


对你来说可能有所不同，但请记住这一点。如果你不想花时间在这上面，你可能想试试 [Ubuntu Unity](https://ubuntuunity.org)。


### 总结


对于 Unity 桌面爱好者来说，这是一件好事。更多发行版可能会考虑使用带有 Unity 桌面的变体。


你想让那发生吗？

Unity Desktop is a classic desktop environment built by Canonical and was a part of Ubuntu from 2010 to 2017 but dropped in favor of GNOME.

And, we thought it was killed forever. But it made a comeback.

Earlier this year, a revamped version of Unity was released after a long 6-year period since its last update in May 2016.

The development was spearheaded by a young developer [Rudra Saraswat](https://about.ruds.io/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), who is also the creator of [Ubuntu Unity](https://about.ruds.io/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), an official flavor of Ubuntu now.

The release of Unity 7.6 marked the arrival of a host of improvements.

And, to take that further, Unity 7.6 has been made available for Arch Linux. The developer mentions:

This port is based on an earlier effort, Unity-for-Arch by chenxiaolong (maintained from 2011-2016).

## Trying Unity 7.6 on Arch Linux

![unity on arch linux](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/11/unity_for_arch.jpg)

First, you must ensure that you have Arch Linux already set up.

Then you can follow these steps to run Unity 7.6 on Arch Linux:

**Install '**[Paru](https://itsfoss.com/paru-aur-helper/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)', it is an AUR helper.**Install a script called 'unity-installer-arch' using 'paru -S unity-installer-arch'****Run 'unity-installer-arch' in a TTY/terminal window.****Select 'Install Unity desktop'.****Change default display manager to 'lightdm'.****Use 'unity-greeter' as the default greeter.**

My colleague Sreenath tried it out, and during installation, he had to start with a fresh copy of Arch because of multiple dependency conflicts.

It may be different for you, but do keep that in mind. If you do not want to spend time on that, you might want to try [Ubuntu Unity](https://ubuntuunity.org/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) instead.

## Wrapping Up

For Unity desktop fans, this is a good thing. More distributions may consider having a variant with a Unity desktop on board.

Do you want that to happen?
