The Ubuntu Unity project is in trouble because its maintainer, a Linux whiz kid, has had less time to work on it due to his studies. Now other team members are appealing to the wider Ubuntu community for help.

Taking to the Ubuntu forums earlier this week, Unity team member Maik Adamietz admitted that things in Unityland aren't faring that great, and for a perfectly good reason that no one can really fault it for. Project leader Rudra Saraswat, who created the Unity Remix project in 2020 to rescue the replaced-by-GNOME interface from obscurity when he was just 10 years old, suddenly has other things on his plate.

Now a teenager, Saraswat is busy with his studies and simply can't dedicate the time to keep Unity operating properly.

That seems like a burden Canonical should lift, no?

It's a community fork, not an official project any more
