I just set up Ubuntu 20.04 with Unity which is still there, and it looks exactly the same as the 14.04 it replaced. Might not be there in 22.04, who knows. But even switching to Ubuntu Gnome is less of a difference than the Win7 -> Win8 -> Win10 transition I had to guide some older family members through.

That's not what users aged about 80 think. From direct observation, a print icon moving or a menu bar disappearing are just enough to make them crazy.

I know someone who keeps the old computer from 2008 around because "I prefer how Gimp is organized there".
