You can do su <username> to change the user in the current shell. Afaik it just defaults to root if no user ist specified. Everytime you run su you actually do su root
That said I always thought that it stands for switch user so intereresting to know that it‘s substitute.
Also miss it. I took a couple of years to warm up to it. Then when started to I really really like it, it went downwards.
I‘ve actually stopped using Unity a few month before Canonical abandoned it because with all the Gnome applications moving into a completly different direction it didn‘t feel consistent at all anymore.
I still use my Pinebook Pro as daily driver (next to a desktop pc) and I‘m actually quit happy with it. It’s not the most powefull machine but it does it‘s job.
Also I never really experimented with all the special distros. Nowadays I just run plane Debian on it and everything seems fine.
