Ubuntu Unity is a flavor of Ubuntu featuring the Unity7 desktop environment (the default desktop environment used by Ubuntu from 2010-2017).
Unity is a desktop platform, based on technologies such as Nux, GTK+ and Compiz. It is actively developed and maintained, with releases of Unity7 every year. Unity7 has elements such as the heads-up display (HUD) and the Global Menu, helping with your productivity. It has a modern-looking user interface, but with an elegant, traditional workflow.

Experimental remix brings former Unity 8 back to Ubuntu
Ubuntu Unity Noble Numbat is out, and alongside it, a very much not long-term-supported new variant of the distro: Ubuntu Lomiri.
Along with the official Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble Numbat" release which appeared in late April was a new version of Ubuntu Unity, as there has been since Ubuntu 22.10. Although it's only a modest change over previous releases, there are a few differences in this release – and what's more, it now has a sibling distro with the desktop formerly known as Unity 8.
