Hi, i have one installation of Flidas and i gave a try to Unity but the panel is empty and many appaerance settings seems to do nothing. I saw a topic few months ago (almost one year) and this bug was about being fixed in the next version, but no new version has coming and Unity is not 100% functional. I think that to have one thing you have it right or you remove it, but still i see a desktop with errors for a long time, and a desktop that is not working at all (KDE).

I'd be in favor of removing it. If I understand correctly, Canonical has
killed Unity and is using GNOME instead for 18.04 and onwards. I'd
rather the Trisquel devs focus on Trisquel 9 and non-x86 architecture
support.

I think that KDE Plasma works in Trisquel 8. I briefly installed and
used it, and though I quickly discovered that I hated it and
uninstalled, I did not run into any bugs. If it's not working for you, I
suggest starting a new thread and we can help troubleshoot.

Installation of kde trough tasksel (Triskel) fails. I didn't tried with apt but seems to be some errors with dependencies.
