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][1], who is also the creator of [Ubuntu Unity][1], 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][2] + +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][3]', 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][4] 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? + +_💬 Are you an existing user of Unity desktop? Want to give it a try?
