+You Can Now Install Unity 7.6 Desktop on Arch Linux
+======
+
+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][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?
