How can I make Ubuntu 18.04 / 18.10 desktop use Unity (be like Ubuntu 14.04)?
I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 and I'm not keen on the desktop environment. I want the desktop env. I used to have in Ubuntu 14.04. How can I get it?
I've attempted to use this answer, but when I try to install the Unity's 7.2.5 version using the command:
apt install unity=7.2.5
it gives me
E: Version '7.2.5' for 'unity' was not found
For sure I need to add a PPA for this, but which one!?

In 18.04 you're going to get Unity 7.5.0, not exactly Unity 7.2.5 but pretty close and it's a lot more stable in 18.04 than 7.2.5.

Unity 7.2.5 needs the GTK+ 3.10 (from memory), where as the libraries & GTK+ version in 18.04 are 3.28 so the API/ABI's won't match and installing it won't help without a ton of extra libs, duplication of those libs etc. I'd suggest using version 7.2.5 unless you're willing to do a ton of work (or are willing to use all 3.10 apps found in 14.04 anyway, so you'll end up with a 14.04 system with 18.04 kernel)

To install Unity you need to follow these steps:
Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and use the following command:
sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop
At the installation time, you’ll be asked whether you want to switch to LightDM.
A Display manager is what you see on the login screen.
- If you want Unity like login screen: select lightdm
- If you want to keep the default login screen in Ubuntu 18.04: select gdm3
Just select the one you want and press enter to move ahead with the installation procedure.
Once the installation is complete, restart your system. At the login screen, click on the Ubuntu symbol in LightDM or gear symbol in GDM.
In here, you can see the option to use Unity desktop environment.

It's better to install Ubuntu from mini.iso - Ubuntu Netboot images.
When you're asked to choose any environment, don't check any and continue installation.
Once the installation's completed, login into clear OS and install Unity by:
sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop
That's it!
You'll get absolutely clear Ubuntu 18.04/18.10 with only Unity/LightDM

It's better to install Ubuntu from mini.iso - Ubuntu Netboot images.
When you're asked to choose any environment, don't check any and continue installation.
Once the installation's completed, login into clear OS and install Unity by:
sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop
That's it!
You'll get absolutely clear Ubuntu 18.04/18.10 with only Unity/LightDM

In 18.04 you're going to get Unity 7.5.0, not exactly Unity 7.2.5 but pretty close and it's a lot more stable in 18.04 than 7.2.5.

Unity 7.2.5 needs the GTK+ 3.10 (from memory), where as the libraries & GTK+ version in 18.04 are 3.28 so the API/ABI's won't match and installing it won't help without a ton of extra libs, duplication of those libs etc. I'd suggest using version 7.2.5 unless you're willing to do a ton of work (or are willing to use all 3.10 apps found in 14.04 anyway, so you'll end up with a 14.04 system with 18.04 kernel)

@karel 7.2.5 it sucks... pretty but too god damn slow and buggy! The unity I used to have in 14.04 was perfect!

@guiverc the problems that I have with unity 7.2.5 just make me consider to crawl back to the Ubuntu 14.04 arms... I am happy to do the ton of work if I know how to do it...
