That is correct, but the projects contribute to the pool. Ubuntu Studio
is based on Xubuntu, but Ubuntu Studio e.g. contributes a customized
main menu for this pool. Yes, you can install Kubuntu and then replace
KDE with Xfce and add the Ubuntu Studio meta packages. All those
projects fit to the Ubuntu policy, so you need a PPA to get e.g.
linux-rt by a repository.
The advertisings for Ubuntu are present when e.g. starting Thunderbird
for the first time and when opening the software crap thingy, you see
prices for some apps, while some apps are not shown.
Some of those projects try to get rid of some of that capitalistic crap,
so it can make a difference with what project you start, even while they
all share the same policy and repositories.
When Ubuntu was new, they called me a troll when I said something about
Mark Shuttleworth, but all I said became true :). I'm satisfied ;).
