In the latest Unity Hub update, creating new projects now defaults to the Unity cloud, eliminating the option for non-Cloud projects. Users can disconnect from cloud syncing, but projects remain on the Unity Cloud dashboard.

For those seeking a lighter alternative, Unity Hub Native offers a streamlined experience with reduced resource usage.
