Lomiri desktop availability
1 project | /r/debian | 30 Apr 2023

Yes....finally ported to Debian FROM Ubuntu. The whole reason it was named Lomiri is that people had a problem with the Unity8 name. Aticle is sort of clickbait-ey. So you can look at the 3 months worth of work on Debian or you can look at the 5+ years worth of work while it was on Ubuntu . Even the website is Ubuntu specific. However seeing how Ubuntu is a derivative from Debian, most things should work.

Any GNOME-like DEs without all the GNOME bs?
2 projects | /r/linuxmasterrace | 29 May 2022

Unity. Yes, it's still around (now going by "unity8" and maintained and developed by UBports now instead of Canonical but it's still the same DE we all know and hate er love). Obv not my cup of tea so I'm not very knowledgeable about it so could be way off but who knows, maybe we'll get a Unity lover here and they can chime in. github
ubuntu unity coming back?
1 project | /r/Ubuntu | 30 Nov 2021

Probably not. There are two projects that are continuing the development of Unity though. Mind you that these are in name only since neither are being built off of Unity7. The first is Lomiri. It is being developed by UBports. The second is UnityX. It is being developed by the same people who maintain the Ubuntu Unity Remix.

Unity-wm removed from AUR?
1 project | /r/archlinux | 3 May 2021

Not sure, but I think it rebranded as lomiri, and their webpage claims it isn't ready for desktop use yet. There's also links to their github there, if you want to have a look.

Is Unity-for-Arch still maintained?
3 projects | /r/archlinux | 11 Apr 2021

I know people were harsh on Unity for good reasons but I've tried it last year and it was a pretty solid DE on its last version. It would be nice if it was still maintained properly with cross distro compatibility because Ubuntu is not my cup of tea. I found out yesterday that Gentoo had an active overlay : https://github.com/shiznix/unity-gentoo so I think this is definitely possible.
