I don't Know if this is possible, but can you use all of ubuntu and its derivitives (Xubuntu,Kubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Studio) Without dual booting your computer? Can you change them at any time?

Each of the distros you mentioned is in fact Ubuntu, just shipped with a different desktop environment.

You can install just one of them, then install the different Desktop Environments any time.

To install them, open a terminal, and run apt-get install with the appropriate package name. For example

GNOME Shell

    apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

MATE Desktop

    apt install mate-desktop-environment

Here is the list of several other Desktop Environments: What kinds of desktop environments and shells are available?

You can also search the Software Centre or Synamptic package manager if you have it installed, for "desktop environment".

Once installed, you will be able to choose one from your login screen, typically an icon representing the Desktop Environment will be available.
