Now, that Ubuntu 17.10 is out, and Unity 7 is replaced with Gnome 3, is there a way to install and use Unity7?



I know Unity is still in the repositories, so it should be possible, right?

            While this is possible, note that unity is in the universe repository now and will almost certainly be removed entirely in 18.04. So it is not something that should be recommended to others to do. If one wants to run Unity, the best thing to do would be to run 16.04, for now.

          After that you need to log out and log back in and select unity a desktop environment (the small cog-wheel beside the sign in button).

            While this is possible, note that unity is in the universe repository now and will almost certainly be removed entirely in 18.04. So it is not something that should be recommended to others to do. If one wants to run Unity, the best thing to do would be to run 16.04, for now.
