Ubuntu 22.04 LTS still serves as the basis for Ubuntu Unity 22.04.1 LTS, as Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS has been delayed from a few days to August 11th due to a bug in the graphical installation routine. The LTS system kernel is Linux 5.15 and the base of support for five years is the same anyway. The biggest innovation is the “new” desktop Unity 7.6, the first major update in more than half a decade.

Here are the changes I made in Unity 7.6:
The Dash (App Launcher) and HUD have been revamped for a modern and sleek look.
Added support for accent colors in Unity and Unity-Control-Center, and updated theme lists in Unity-Control-Center.
Fixed broken app info and ratings in dash preview.
The info panel in Unity-Control-Center has been updated.
Improved dash rounded corners.
Fixed the ‘Empty Trash’ button in the Dock (it now uses Nemo instead of Nautilus).
Migrated the entire Unity7 shell source code to GitLab and got it to compile on 22.04.
The design is much more flattering but retains the system-wide blur.
The Dock’s menus and tooltips have been given a more modern look.
Low graphics mode now works much better and dash is faster than ever.
RAM usage in Unity 7 is now slightly less, whereas in Ubuntu Unity 22.04 the RAM usage has come down to around 700-800 MB.
Fixed standalone testing of Unity7 launcher (this will help Unity7 contributors).
Buggy tests have been disabled and build time is very short (this will help Unity 7 contributors).
