People have tried to package Unity for other distributions, but those efforts have failed. One of the main problems was the patches that Canonical applies to GNOME libraries (to make Unity work) and to applications (to make them integrate with Unity). If someone wanted to fork Unity they'd have to find a way to handle this to get it fully working on any distribution besides Ubuntu.
- taudelta 15y agoUnity has been ported to archlinux a while ago. https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-for-Arch https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-for-Arch Note the insane amount of packages, most of which are patched versions of packages.
- idleloops 15y agoThat sounds really nasty. I wonder what the intrinsic issue is?
