Technically, yes. There are 'flavors' of Ubuntu like Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xbuntu, Ubuntu Unity, and so forth. Unlike Fedora spins, they are different communities. For example https://lubuntu.me/ At one time I had installed Ubuntu and didn't really like the GNOME experience so I installed the KDE desktop. It worked, sort of, but was fragile with some odd behavior as GNOME and KDE overlapped. I wouldn't recommend it. If you want a KDE experience install Kubuntu.
