Similar to this question Why is Unity 2D being discontinued? and an fellow up on this one Is Unity going to end in 18.04 LTS
What was the official reason by Canonical to axed the project when it was love by some many of their users and innovative?
Like the title suggest is there anyway?
I tried to run Unity 8 on Ubuntu 16.04 in VirtualBox with the Guest Additions installed. When I login into the Unity 8 session from LightDM it's just loads a black screen then its log me out or freezes. I also install Unity 8 though these commands:
sudo apt install unity8-desktop-session-mir
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/stable-phone-overlay
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Maybe I miss something to install, but when I tried to run Unity 8 in a terminal on top of Unity 7, I get the same thing. However, I get this output:
mathcubes@Ubuntu-VM:~$ unity8
Mode argument was not provided or was set to an illegal value. Using default value of --mode= "full-greeter"
file:///usr/share/unity8//OrientedShell.qml:21:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module "Unity.Screens": Cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/Unity/Screens/libunityscreensplugin.so: (libqpa-mirserver.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
import Unity.Screens 0.1
^
Could I run Unity 8? Is it compatible?
I was watching this video. How do I get Weston on Ubuntu to try it?
Where can I find other desktop environments that work with wayland - are there any wayland ports for it like GNOME and KDE?
This took me several days to do. If it doesn't render right, I made and test it for Firefox(with zoom 100%) version 31 since it comes default with Ubuntu. Please note, that after 14.10 comes out to stable, some of the links will be broken, and I didn't add PPC because it is dead on the desktop. Similarly, it is the same reason why I didn't add Ubuntu Netbook Remix or add the sever edition of Edubuntu. If there are links that don't work please tell me and I will try my best to fix them.

On the Wikipedia's article (Computer terminal) under the hard copy terminals section of the article it says this "Early user terminals connected to computers were electromechanical teleprinters or teletypewriters (TeleTYpewriter, TTY)..."
So does TTY stand for teletypewriters? But it doesn't make any sense for me because I have never seen it and have no idea what "tele" means.
Some how the partition (Dev/sda2) partition got deleted. So I use TestDisk to bring it back... The first time I did it it erase the whole hard drive... The second time it did restore the partition which is good. But now it is giving me a error massage when I try to open it in Files(Gnome).

I was wondering if there is a way to run a application like Onboard on a display manager like GDM. If it depends on the display manager than please post the GDM instructions, or all of the popular display managers. The reason why I need Onboard running while using GDM is I am learning the Dvorak keyboard layout...
Please Note
I know there is an on-screen keyboard included in GDM. Please don't post that as an answer, I am using the keyboard as an example and would like to know how to run any application in the GDM window.
When does Ubuntu development begins on the next version after the current release? Is it like 2 months after the current release, several weeks? I am just wondering, since I want the daily build of Ubuntu 14.10 if their is some. Also, To they release the daily-build the same day that the begin development, or is it like a week?
Why can't APT install more than one application at a time? Why does it need to exit before installing the next. I know with MS Windows you can install how many application at once. This problem is not unique to Ubuntu but to all distros, that I have notice.
I hear about this new feature, but don't know how to enable it. It look as this
Do anyone have any idea how to enable this? And is it possible to get it on other Desktop Environments like XFCE?
I like non-linear presentation software like prezi. The problem with Prezi is it is not open source and not a desktop client (For linux). You will say use Libra-Office Impress but it is linear and I hate that. If there isn't any non-linear presentation software for linux like Prezi Desktop, than is there a plugin that make Libra-Office Impress like it or Apache OpenOffice? I want a desktop client, and not a web-base app!
[1] Linear Presentations are those presentations in which the flow of the presentation is controlled by the person who is presenting. The concept is frequently employed in multimedia applications and presentations. An example of linear presentation is a pre-recorded movie presentation.

Why am I stuck with a version of GNOME Shell unlike KDE? For example, on Ubuntu 12.04 I am stuck with GNOME Shell version 3.4, and I can't upgrade to a newer version of GNOME Shell like 3.6.
With Kubuntu 12.04 comes with KDE 4.8 and I can upgrade it to the latest version which is 4.10. It seems like if a version of GNOME Shell gets released after a version of Ubuntu, it does support that version of Ubuntu. Does anyone know why it is like this? Does this have something to do with GTK dependencies?
How many Compiz Addons can I get and what do they do? Can I get one that make it possiable for me to turn windows and tab then like in Haiku.
How do I make an Bootable Ubuntu USB containing the the latest version of Ubuntu?
For completeness, how would I be able to do this on Ubuntu, Windows, OS X or another Linux distro?
When I try to save something or rename a file/folder it say this error " Read-only file system" or run something as root in the terminal it say this error

W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/

When I make a Folder the error dialog in the details with Nautilus is this:

I would show you I picture of it but it isn't even letting my save onto my flash drive. Please help me.

I don't like the auto hide launcher for it is too annoying for me. The launcher stays hidden and to reveal it, the mouse pointer has to be moved to the default hot spot. I'd instead like to have the hide to dodge windows previously available in Ubuntu 11.10. How do I change back to this behaviour?
