Is there any hope to bring back Unity on Ubuntu 17.10?

Personally, I (still) don't like Gnome. The main reason I like Unity is for the top bar integration (and the Alt suggestions).

I just couldn't find any good extensions for Gnome to do that.

I upgraded from 16.10 to 17.04 and then 17.10 (which came with Gnome). Everything went fine, but I just want Unity back...

How to do that?

I already tried:

ionicabizau@notebook:~$ sudo apt install unity
[sudo] password for ionicabizau: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
unity is already the newest version (7.5.0+17.10.20171010-0ubuntu1).

A simple

sudo apt install unity

will Install Unity.

When signing in you then can switch to Unity. enter image description here

Be careful using this option, it is known to lock up the login screen.
