Delete Ubuntu Desktop With Applications Ubuntu 18.04
I want to delete the ubuntu desktop components including the applications, e.c.t. I want to replace it completely wiht the unity desktop, exept That I want just the applications that come wiht unity to be on, and not the gnome ones. I have already found a list of applications to remove, but there are a few packages that are not to be uninstalled, so it does not work.

Your release of Ubuntu would be helpful. Unity was a GNOME alternative desktop, and used GNOME applications so most will not change. You can add Unity desktop withubuntu-unity-desktopthe package (packages.ubuntu.com/…)

You were not specific, and I assumed Unity 7 (as used in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS & 16.04 LTS, and available for 18.04 LTS & 18.10). Unity 7 apps and everything found on Unity is included in that package (opening the link shows that). Unity 8 was Qt based (not GTK+ as found in Gnome) thus its apps are different (being Qt as found in KDE (Kubuntu) or LXQt (Lubuntu 18.10 onwards)) being supported by UBports & not Canonical. I've seen many blogs about it, but don't recall facts as didn't interest me.
