I really need to stick with a Linux Distro

[NalNalas]

Alright, you're about to hear every distro I've had and how long I've had them for
Awhile ago I installed ubuntu with wubi, uninstalled it ten days later
after that got a usb installed ubuntu for about a week. Uninstalled it
tried mint, uninstalled it again 10 days later
tried fedora, deleted it right after
tried debian deleted it within two days
went to ubuntu deleted it
xubuntu gone in less than a month
went to mint again 2 weeks
tried fedora again. gone in a week
and now Ubuntu again.
Help I need to stick with one distro, since my new computers coming in, I'm going to delete windows off of this computer and I need a good distro

Perhaps you could give Mageia a shot?

There's also Zorin OS, which basically tries to emulate the look and feel of other operating systems (mainly Windows) while adding its own nice little "spices".

Then there's pretty much every other variant of Ubuntu; Kubuntu, running off of KDE (which is pretty much 100% focused on looking pretty), and Lubuntu, running off of LXDE (100% focused on being fast as hell). There's also Edubuntu but that doesn't seem like something you'd need, and the unofficial GnomeUbuntu or "Gnubuntu", running off of Gnome 3.

I switched back and forth between Fedora, Ubuntu, Scientific Linux, Mint, Lubuntu, and Xubuntu.

I put Xubuntu on everything that I don't intend to run Windows on now because it's got a basic window manager, a fairly small list of default programs, and uses ubuntu's debian repositories because they're more popular and up to date than most other repositories. I can't be bothered to compile stuff from source although I do if I have to. Being able to use apt-get and get most software I need is a plus.

I currently have a car computer running Xubuntu with a USB GPS that works pretty well. I also have a few live CDs and run it in a VM at work for data recovery. I also keep it around so I can run Octave (I misplaced my MATLAB license) and elinks without having to deal with cygwin and to communicate with serial devices at a very low level using cutecom.

Good luck with your distro search.

I would probably guess to try them all out?

I'd use Ubuntu or Xubuntu, and it seems that you keep going back to it, so why not?
