There are two main variants; the desktop and server editions. There are also other projects that use the Ubuntu base to provide other features or services:

Ubuntu Education Edition - Formerly known as Edubuntu, is targeted at schools and children.

Kubuntu - Uses KDE instead of GNOME as its desktop environment.

Xubuntu - Uses Xfce instead of GNOME as its desktop environment.

Gobuntu - Removes all proprietary software and firmware from the distribution.

By default, Ubuntu comes with Ubuntu (Unity) and Unity 2D. Kubuntu comes with KDE.

You can install other desktop environments from any Ubuntu desktop. For example, GNOME Shell comes with GNOME 3.2, GNOME Classic, and GNOME Fallback.

There are many versions of Ubuntu, many of which come with a different desktop environment pre-installed.

Kubuntu - Ubuntu with KDE Plasma Workspaces, a desktop environment that offers maximum customizability

Xubuntu - Ubuntu with XFCE, a lightweight desktop

Lubuntu - Ubuntu with LXDE, another lightweight desktop

Ubuntu GNOME - Ubuntu with GNOME Shell

Edubuntu - Ubuntu that runs Unity (so it looks just like regular Ubuntu) but comes with many pre-installed applications that can be used for educational purposes. Meant to be used in schools.

When you download ubuntu Linux will your original os stay on another user?

Ubuntu generally creates a different partition on your hard drive, formatted with the EXT4 filesystem. Therefore, without special software, you cannot access your files on Ubuntu from Windows. However, you can access your Windows files from Ubuntu without any trouble. When Ubuntu is installed, you get to choose whether to boot into Ubuntu or Windows when the computer turns on. That means that you cannot be actively logged into both Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer. However, you can install Ubuntu on a virtual machine, making the computer run Ubuntu inside an emulator in Windows. This makes it possible to run Ubuntu while you are logged into Windows. I do not recommend it, though. Ubuntu users and Windows users are in different operating systems, so you cannot just switch between them like you can in Windows accounts.
