In 2017, Canonical gave up The default desktop environment used by Ubuntu Unity .But some in the open source community still maintain it and run the unofficial Ubuntu Unity distribution.

The Ubuntu discussion email shows that in the upcoming Ubuntu 22.10 version, Unity will once again become the official version of Ubuntu’s desktop environment.

Ubuntu Unity is basically Ubuntu’s native flavor, but by default it adds Unity packages to the desktop, as well as some exclusive packages such as unity-control-center, gtk3-nocsd, ubuntu-unity-meta, etc., which are not part of Ubuntu’s default package. in addition,The Unity version currently used by Ubuntu Unity is 7.6, which is slightly newer than the version in the Ubuntu Universe archive (7.5).

In addition to being the official desktop of the Ubuntu 22.10 release, the Ubuntu Unity Remix team also proposes to apply Ubuntu Unity flavors to downstream versions of Ubuntu, such as Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, etc.
