Raspberry Pi [Unity Installation & Snappy Ubuntu Core username]

[Dick Dowdell]

It's unlikely that the Unity desktop has been compiled for the Raspberry Pi
ARM processor.  You would have to get the source and build it yourself.  I
have a Raspberry Pi 2 which is 6 times faster than the original Raspberry
Pi, but I would hesitate to run Unity on it.  What's wrong with Raspbian's
less resource intensive desktop?

A few options:
