The nautilus crash is now fixed in yakkety. The only blockers are now Unity8's launching mechanism and general GTK bugs [1].
With that in mind you can use this hack to launch nautilus under Unity8 on yakkety: mkdir -- '--desktop_file_hint=nautilus' nautilus -w -- --desktop_file_hint=nautilus It will refuse to resize and be of limited use right now, but it's a start.
