Canonical have serous financial problems and at the moment are trying to get their shit together (change focus from mobile and desktop to server and cloud).

I truly believe thah Ubuntu is the only non-meme distro out there and it kinda worries me that they can stop making Linux usable on desktop.
So my question is - if Ubuntu would die which distro would you use instead that have the same goals in mind (easy to install non-free software, availability of all necessary packages out of the box, etc.).

Fedora or OpenSUSE could work?

Lose some support infrastructure and the paying of guys to look at bugs. A bunch of packages would probably be degraded from "official" support to "community", this would probably involve all alternate variants of Ubuntu. While I think the .4 releases remain, the .10 ones might disappear or otherwise be limited.

How about installing Nvidia drivers after every kernel update.
>Fedora
Wow, new update! Wow, you can't login in gdm anymore.
>>61509852
it will never get new packages and launchpad would also be dead

Solus is very promising. If Ubuntu dies in a year or two - Solus will be mature enough to switch.

I was talking out my ass because I only ever used Ubuntu and Arch. Never tried the distros I mentioned but I heard they were decent.
