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.

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.

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).
