Ubuntu can. Kubuntu can't.
I'm not giving up on Ubuntu, I'm giving up on _Kubuntu_. I'm moving from the KDE version to the Gnome version, because despite my general dislike of Gnome KDE 4 has caused me to lose faith in the KDE developers. (I now understand why Ubuntu has defaulted to Gnome, if Shuttleworth saw this coming.)
I'll miss Konqueror, but it's their own darn fault for gluing it to KDE the same way Microsoft glued Explorer to Windows.
