I agree, and they have no homepage or anything either. Unity was (is) a desktop environment alternative to Gnome. It used to be the default in 16.x but Gnome became the default in 18.x. Remix is (I think) an updated, forked version of Unity that is now being maintained and advanced with the latest versions of Ubuntu. This is particularly exciting for me and other Unity lovers because I pretty much only use Unity as my DE. I have been manually installing it as a replacement for Gnome and this update is very exciting. I think Unity is a lot better. |

I mean, is it really different from the Unity version you can still find and install from the 20.04 official package repository? The problem I see with this is that you have to trust a binary distribution (not just the package, but the entire OS) bundled by a not well-known team.
For me, it would be great if Unity could be maintained and developed just like any other desktop environment (i.e. XFCE) which is completely open source and you can get from your command line just apt'ing it in vanilla Ubuntu.
