Wasn't Canonical going to drop Unity? https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/04/ubuntu-unity-is-dead-desktop-will-switch-back-to-gnome-next-year/

  The video description links to this repo: https://github.com/ubports/unity8-desktop-install-tools https://github.com/ubports/unity8-desktop-install-tools which basically does "apt install unity8-desktop-session". So the default desktop environment is GNOME, and this is just showing off Unity 8 as an alternative.

    Is not just showing off Unity 8 as an alternative, this is part of a community effort to port Ubuntu to mobile devices. See ubports.com
