Unity (which now shows up as a plugin in CompizConfig Settings Manager) has finally been made default in Ubuntu (desktop) 11.04 Natty Narwhal yesterday, as you can see in the , as you can see in the Ubuntu meta changelog .

As you can see, there's no Dash yet (the Ubuntu logo in the top left corner just triggers the Unity launcher unhide) so you must use a terminal to launch applications, the quicklist menu items have some random text (for testing purposes for now) so Unity is not really usable yet.





But there are some things that already work: you can set the Unity launcher ("dock") to autohide or float and the desktop switcher finally works.
